HighJump Software Extends Warehouse Voice Options
HighJump Software, a global provider of supply chain management software, has formed a strategic alliance with Speech Interface Design (SID), a provider of business process optimization for distribution and manufacturing customers.
Specializing in Vocollect Voice solutions; SID analyzes, engineers, and applies supply chain industry best practices and technologies solving customer's critical business challenges.
This partnership will provide HighJump customers with an expanded portfolio of configurable voice solutions, including distribution voice-enabled workflow for areas such as picking, receiving, and replenishment, as well as for manufacturing processes such as kitting, assembly, and inspection. The solution includes 10 voice technology configuration options that can be set by warehouse, pick area, or employee. This allows a company to establish different requirements based on its particular needs, such as the ability to skip a slot, the requirement to speak the slot location for validation, validate staging locations, or determine whether the item name is spoken to the user, among other options.
"For any company looking to increase accuracy and efficiency even more, voice is the next technological frontier to master," explained Gary Nemmers, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at HighJump Software, in a statement. "HighJump's new partnership with SID will enable seamless integration between a customer's existing WMS or enterprise resource planning system and the speech recognition solution to provide a comprehensive solution for companies wanting to take their operations to the next level."
"Our suite of configurable voice based solutions is an excellent match for the adaptable and flexible HighJump software architecture," said Ahmed Reza, president at SID, in the statement. "This partnership will provide HighJump Software customers with the operational advantage they need to increase productivity, achieve their goals and realize increased margin."
