Structure of the Power Pick Software
Keytec®
This is the basic package for Power Pick Software and covers the key functions of a flexible warehouse management solution. The Keytec® core module forms the basis of the structure for Power Pick Software. Keytec includes functions for convenient management of users, rights, containers, materials, warehouses, and storage spaces. They enable simple reporting by means of pre-produced lists and reports. Unscheduled stock placements and return transfers are also possible with automatic storage space suggestion and unscheduled stock removals can also be made using dynamic lists.
Optional module(s)
On top of Keytec®, further optional modules can be put together in line with customer requirements, thus further boosting the functionality of Power Pick Software. These can be freely selected from the list of optional modules and boost the capability and functionality of the warehouse management software.
Special programming
If required, Power Pick Software can be individually adapted with special programming on a customer-specific basis.
Key Functionality of Power Pick Warehouse Inventory Management Software
Building on the basic functions of the warehouse management software, additional features such as interfaces, batch management, or inventory support can be added with optional modules or selected at a later time.

Mobile Data Entry (MDE) Order Picking Available with Power Pick WMS
The MDE (mobile data entry) device replaces the stationary Power Pick System workstation, operated by dynamic storage systems. It is used in applications where the goods are not brought to the person. Examples of practical use include stationary shelving areas in the warehouse, pallet racks, floor storage, etc. that are managed by Power Pick Software. This requires a workflow that is adapted to the way of working, which is mapped out using the MDE.
Staff can use MDE for the following:
- Correcting stock
- Working through orders
- Dynamic creation of collective orders and working through these directly
- Manual stock placement and removal (with storage space suggestion)
- Calling up storage space information at the storage space itself
- Performing direct stock placement (putting items directly into a storage space without a storage space suggestion)
The MDE concept turns the Power Pick Software workstation into a mobile system and can also be used across different zones, for example, while online connection via WiFi still guarantees instant data transfer at all times.
Benefits Using MDE for Your Warehouse Inventory Management Software
- Management of order picking activities using mobile devices
- Stock management in areas without dynamic storage systems
- Independent workstations covering different zones
- Real-time data transfer through online connection via WiFi
- Reliable and clear menu guidance ensures minimal error rate
