Overview
SOLOCHAIN WMS is sold by Generix Group, a supply chain software vendor whose portfolio also covers transport, EDI and e-invoicing. Generix states that more than 2,000 warehouses use Generix and SOLOCHAIN WMS solutions and that SOLOCHAIN has more than 100 customers in North America[13].
SOLOCHAIN is a native web-based system available on-premises or as SaaS[13]. Core functions include receiving with inspection, cross-docking, dynamic put-away, replenishment, dynamic wave planning, dock and load management, picking, packing, task interleaving and KPI dashboards; optional modules add kitting and light manufacturing, recall reporting, slotting, parcel manifesting, labour management, appointment scheduling, yard management, voice picking and a 3PL billing engine[13]. Lot, expiry and serial tracking, quality checklists and damage photos are included, and the system integrates with ERP and order management systems, material handling equipment and warehouse control systems[13]. Named customers include Hitachi, which runs a 1-million-square-foot fulfilment centre around the clock on the system, as well as Danone, Agropur and Alstom[13].
A packaged offer, Solochain Now, bundles core functions with services and can go live in as little as 16 weeks[13]. Pricing is not published, and the product page gives inconsistent figures for how many years SOLOCHAIN has appeared in Gartner’s WMS Magic Quadrant[13].
