Smart warehouse management
Zebra FulfillmentEdge
Get unparalleled productivity from your WMS-SystemSeveral complex processes come together in warehouse management, including inventory management, internal logistics and supply chain management. With ever better economic systems, the work volume in warehouses increases with continuously shorter fulfillment times. The only way to meet these requirements and increase productivity is effective digitalization in warehouse management.
An important element are warehouse management systems, or WMS for short, which support material flow management with the help of software. However, these are not always compatible with new technologies or other business intelligence components, and an expensive upgrade is not worthwhile for every company. Zebra's FulfillmentEdge is a practical way to modernize existing WMS and thus increase warehouse productivity without having to make changes.
The benefits at a glance:
- Linear processes become dynamic work flows
- No changes to your current WMS or ERP system required
- Simple user experience with less training time
- Device-independent use
- Possible use of all available technologies of mobile Zebra devices
- Data usage in multiple business systems
- Continuous improvement of work processes and productivity with real-time analysis
FulfillmentEdge removes the limitations of your WMS and TE apps, allowing you to easily leverage new information to create better, more efficient workflows. At the same time, the solution enables the use of the latest technologies, without any risky WMS changes.
With FulfillmentEdge you can, for example, determine the real-time location of your employees, your inventory and your assets, which you have already recorded via your WLAN access points and RFID systems, and thus move from linear to dynamic workflows. You can also automatically update a work order in progress or respond to rush orders for shipping at short notice by having FulfillmentEdge instantly identify all employees who are picking orders along the appropriate path that includes the location of the items in that order. This allows orders to be fulfilled in record time.
The collection and visualization of all important information and data via FulfillmentEdge also allows specific steps to be identified and optimized in order to increase efficiency in the long term. Even with modern technologies such as head-mounted displays. The result is the delivery of the ideal mobile user experience.

FulfillmentEdge architecture
FulfillmentEdge's elegant architecture allows you to transform your WMS into a modern system, which removes any limitations that prevent you from using today's modern technologies to maximize productivity in your warehouse. Instead of a very time-consuming, costly and risky upgrade, FulfillmentEdge integrates into the existing WMS and seamlessly pulls and pushes information, such as the locations of employees and goods, to and from your warehouse management system. Now you can provide your employees with Android devices from Zebra, head-mounted displays and intuitive and interactive screens, integrate information from technologies such as RFID and geo-location, or activate voice interaction for voice-controlled picking. Re-imagine your warehouse and remove the restrictions in your WMS with FulfillmentEdge.
24% more commissions with dynamic workflows
With FulfillmentEdge you replace your linear work processes in warehouse management with dynamic orders. These take into account an employee's location, any tasks that can be performed at that location, and the priority of the incoming commission. The precise distribution and classification enables employees to process several orders and to store newly received or returned items in a single trip through the warehouse.
90% cost reduction for onboarding and training
Many older and current WMS systems require the use of terminal emulation (TE) as well as the outdated "green screen" interface, which often need long explanations and introductory times. FulfillmentEdge opens up the possibility of Zebra's Android mobile devices, creating simpler user experiences via intuitive Android interfaces. This saves valuable time in training and onboarding processes for new employees.
100% more flexibility through the integration of other technologies and data sources
All information from any application that could help streamline processes can be used with FulfillmentEdge. This includes, for example, the location of employees, inventory and other stored goods that you may be tracking via WiFi and RFID. In addition, all technologies that are integrated into your existing Zebra Android devices can be used, as well as other cutting-edge technologies such as head-mounted displays.
