KP Holly Springs began using WISL Distribution Control for generating shipping documentation in the spring of 1997. The utilization of the truck modelling facility was initiated in fall 1999.

Distribution is a significant component in the end cost of product. Optimizing the use of distribution facilities and providing freight documentation and useful customer information are the goals of the distribution control information system.

Load Unit Modelling

All outstanding customer orders are modelled in specified loading units by destination.

Truck Modelling

Variable parameters, rating and routing considerations combine to determine the optimal distribution to customers.

Picking/Packing

Utilizing the accepted model, documents and trip records are generated that provide the basis for picking and packing the product for loading and distribution.

WISL Distribution Control

WISL Distribution Control accepts order data from the corporate information system and provides modelling facilities based on mathematical algorithms and interface with PC Miler to optimize the generation of loading units and trips for distribution. The trip records generated are utilized with hand held RF based data collection terminals to control the picking and loading processes.
