And at Offimac, we add features specific to the rental industry. Below we go into more detail about the specific functionalities of our warehouse management software for rental companies using Business Central.

A general introduction

For companies that physically move goods in and out of their warehouse, efficient warehouse management is of crucial importance. There are two fundamental aspects that ensure warehouse processes run smoothly:

• A complete and accurate overview of inventory levels and the exact locations of items within the warehouse.

• The ability to receive, pick, and ship items quickly, efficiently, and without errors.

To achieve these goals, Offimac Business Central software for warehouse management in rental companies offers comprehensive warehouse functionality that directly contributes to streamlined inventory management. Key features include:

• Bin locations to establish a clear structure within the warehouse.

• Warehouse shipments to optimize the order processing and delivery workflow.

• Inventory picks, ensuring warehouse staff know exactly which products must be collected for shipment.

• Movement worksheets to support efficient internal logistics within the warehouse.

Adapting the software as your process becomes more complex

Depending on a rental company’s needs, these functions can be implemented in various combinations. As a business grows and complexity increases, it is essential to continually evaluate and adjust warehouse processes.

The degree of complexity within a warehouse environment depends on various factors. A simple process might consist of one person creating and immediately posting a sales document. In a more complex situation, multiple employees may be involved in the processing workflow.

In addition to the employees and steps involved, documentation within warehouse management also plays a role in complexity. For instance, warehouse receipt and put-away documents can be used for inbound goods flows, while inventory pick documents are often utilized for outbound shipments.

Warehouse management software for rental companies: setup

An effective representation of the physical warehouse in Business Central is essential to best support operational processes. Offimac Business Central software for warehouse management in rental companies offers several options to model the real-world warehouse structure. Depending on business needs, shelves, branches and storage locations can be defined. Each of these options has specific benefits and applications.

Locations and bin locations

To effectively manage physical goods, at least one branch must be created in the system. For companies with multiple locations, using multiple branches or warehouse locations can help structure logistics operations. Especially for rental companies operating in multiple locations, Offimac Business Central warehouse management software in rental companies provides a flexible solution to accurately manage all branches and inventory locations.

Locations are often used for companies operating across different geographical sites. In some cases, it can be useful to create multiple locations even if they are physically at the same site. This offers various advantages, such as:

• Setting specific access levels for employees via the Warehouse Employee and Divisions pages.

• Setting planning parameters, such as routing plans and processing times for inbound and outbound goods flows.

• Configuring different settings for inventory posting and default dimensions.

• Setting specific warehouse functions per location to respond flexibly to operational requirements.

Shelves and bin locations

When certain items are always stored in the same location in the warehouse, the Shelf No. field on the item card or SKU card can be used. This simple system is particularly useful in environments without complex bin locations and provides a basic solution for manually managing item placement.

For a more advanced approach, bin locations can be defined. Bins offer the possibility to maintain a standard warehouse structure and generate automatic placement suggestions. Advantages of bin locations include:

• The ability to assign one or more fixed bin locations to an item.

• Defining specific bin locations for different processes, such as shipping locations or production output bins.

• Setting capacity and weight restrictions, especially when using directed put-away and pick functionalities.

• Evaluating bin locations based on efficiency criteria, which helps optimize space within the warehouse.
