EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (Feb. 19, 2008) – HighJump Software, a 3M company, a global provider of Supply Chain execution solutions, today announced the release of HighJump Billing Management.

This replaces the practice of spreading client costs evenly across all accounts, which can result in an oversimplified and incorrect analysis. Client-level costing data enables accurate labor costs, as well as profit and loss analyses and reporting. The solution also supports complex contractual requirements that often exist between an LSP and its clients, including billing based on material handling transactions, storage capacity utilization, and client-specific billing requirements.

Next Generation Software Provides Advancements for “Pick and Pack” Operations

DENVER, Colo., – Cadre Technologies has developed the most efficient tool for warehouse employees to optimally perform their jobs: Cadence Mobile Logistics (CML). CML is a Microsoft Windows-based mobile-user system that lets warehouse workers capture data through touch-screen, scanner (bar-code), camera, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or voice Technology on a single hand-held computer. This advanced application is revolutionizing data capture in the warehousing industry.

CML connects the mobile worker with the company’s main database, updating in real-time to put the most up-to-the-minute information in the user’s hands. CML increases performance of mobile warehouse workers by letting the employee choose the most effective way to receive and input data based on work conditions, including a completely hands-free method for voice-directed picking and a bilingual language option. This lets the worker verbally communicate with the host application to confirm when the job is complete and receive another assignment. Mobile workers use a headset with a microphone and speaker, which attaches to a holster-supported mobile computer. The benefit is that the worker’s hands and eyes are completely focused on performing the desired task, not on typing or scanning information. One of the unique features of CML is its complete versatility. If the work situation is better handled by using a keyboard or scanner, those input modes are just as easy to use, and the worker can switch between methods at any time, even during the same job.
