INTERLINK TECHNOLOGIES
Interlink Technologies is a leading Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) provider focused on technology that improves warehouse operations to increase profitability and productivity for small, medium and large size organizations. Real-time inventory tracking and location/quantity information are just the beginning of the functionality provided by Interlink’s warehouse management.
Following your business rules, Warehouse-LINK® ensures logical and verified putaway and picking for accurate shipping and reduced returns. Automated cycle count painlessly confirms inventory quantities and eliminates costly, time-consuming physical inventory counts. Cross dock allows you to bypass putaway and move the product from receiving directly to shipping; getting the product out the door faster. Managing workers is easier by using the WMS to direct and assign tasks to workers and using the predictor tool to move workers around during busy times. Warehouse-LINK® collects product attributes such as case and item height, width, depth, and cubage to optimize picking, pack out and shipping. Assign carriers to dock doors and orders to carriers. Print shipping documents before or after the truck is loaded. Integrate with scales, conveyors, and bundling equipment for even more improvements to parcel shipping.
