The Warehouse Group’s new distribution centre relied on precise product dimensions to function. Inaccurate data was stopping pallets from moving and disrupting operations. Occam deployed a unified operational system that delivered accurate, synchronised product data, enabling the warehouse to operate reliably at scale.
Operational continuity depended on resolving the issue quickly. Occam deployed a unified operational system that consolidated product data from multiple source systems and IoT measurement devices, standardised dimensional logic, and synchronised accurate data back to the WMS.
By establishing a trusted operational data foundation, the warehouse was able to function as designed.
Occam unified data from three major systems, adding around 50 additional business processes. We then integrated data from the WMS with Cubiscan dimension machines and RF Guns, creating a fully integrated data system that worked seamlessly. Rules were applied against each product record in relation to the Product Class. Data that is proven to be correct is sent via API to the Product MDM.
A proof of concept was created in less than one day and tested in the distribution centre the following day. Approval by the senior leadership team was given in week 2, with go live the following week. Ongoing iterations have been happening ever since.
Go live for Australasia’s largest WMS project was successful with validated data at 95%+
Products flow through the distribution centre unencumbered by data problems. Thousands of new products arrive every month and are processed through the Occam workflow ensuring the best utilisation of distribution space.
Since go live, Occam has added additional value by providing referential integrity between the source systems, ensuring they remain synchronized. Occam therefore supports the smooth running of the supply chain with more than 99% compliance of products moving through the distribution centre.
