Warehouse Management System

DCAM "Distribution Center Allocation Manager"

Imagine a real-time system, that from your desktop, you are able to view which workers are currently on the shop floor and exactly what tasks they are performing. A software system capable of displaying worked to be completed (queued tasks), by site, by zone, by route, or by first in first out (FIFO) sequence. A solution that presents and manages orders by fill rate or FIFO, and allows you to select which order to pick, the sequence in which to pick those orders, as well assign the worker you want to pick that specific order.   

 Welcome to DCAM

DC System’s has developed a Warehouse Management System that will improve the efficiency of your warehouse processes. Distribution Center Allocation Manager (DCAM) is a software system that directs the flow of merchandise and workers throughout your facility using RFID tags, barcode labels and state of the art Radio Frequency (wireless network) technology. It gives you total control over your distribution systems and processes.  

DCAM gives you the real-time information you need to improve worker productivity, as well as meet the demands of high volume distribution environment. Using a fully integrated on-line work management system, managers can track and direct the activities of the warehouse workers.
