KNAPP KiSoft WES connects a warehouse management system to operational and control systems, helping determine when and how warehouse work proceeds. It coordinates systems, prioritizes orders, identifies bottlenecks, and adjusts material flows as conditions change. In response to errors or priority changes, it can reprioritize orders or redirect flows. Data from connected systems is processed in real time to show the status of orders, resources, and material flows. Its modular design lets customers activate functions according to their requirements and integrate the product with existing systems or other KiSoft products. Example functions include ERP integration, replenishment management, sorter control, pick-to-light management, and scanner integration. KNAPP recommends KiSoft WES for manual warehouses whose WMS cannot connect to automation or integrate subsystems. The company says a separate WES may not be needed when a WMS or WCS already performs those functions. Pricing is on request. KiSoft licensing may be perpetual or SaaS, with on-premise or cloud operation depending on use.
Who it is for
KiSoft WES suits warehouses that need to connect a WMS with operational systems, particularly manual warehouses whose WMS cannot connect to automation or integrate subsystems. It may be unnecessary where the WMS or WCS already covers its functions.
