# Warehouse Management Software in Hemel Hempstead > Warehouse management for Hemel Hempstead businesses, from Cube Systems. UK-built, UK-supported, and configured around your process. Serving St Albans, Watford and Stevenage too. **URL:** https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/warehouse-management-software/hertfordshire/hemel-hempstead We support businesses in Hemel Hempstead the way we would want to be supported ourselves: someone who knows the account, on the end of a phone, and on site when being on site is what the job needs. Hemel Hempstead is well within our regular travel radius from Olney. ## Details - **Solution:** Warehouse Management Software - **Platform:** CubeERP (https://cubesystems.co.uk/cube-erp) - **Product site:** https://cubeerp.co.uk - **Location:** Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire - **Distance from our Olney office:** 30 miles - well within our regular travel radius from Olney - **Postcode districts:** HP1, HP2, HP3 - **Also known as:** WMS software, Warehouse management system, Pick pack despatch software, Order fulfilment software, Distribution software ## Coverage We cover Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area, including Town Centre, Maylands Business Park, Leverstock Green, Adeyfield and Boxmoor, across the HP1, HP2 and HP3 postcode districts. We also work with businesses in St Albans, Watford and Stevenage and elsewhere in Hertfordshire. ## What is included - **Directed put-away:** Goods-in scanning suggests the right location based on product velocity, size and existing stock - rather than leaving it to whoever is on the forklift. - **Wave, batch and zone picking:** Pick single orders, batch multiple orders across a wave, or split a pick by zone - with pick paths sequenced by location so nobody walks the warehouse twice. - **Packing verification:** Scan each item into the carton before the label prints. Mispicks are caught at the bench, where they cost minutes, instead of at the customer, where they cost a credit note. - **Carrier integration:** Labels, manifests and tracking numbers for the major carriers, with tracking links pushed back to the customer automatically on despatch. - **Transfers and replenishment:** Inter-site transfers with in-transit visibility, plus automatic replenishment from bulk to pick face when a location drops below its minimum. - **Throughput reporting:** Picks per hour, lines per order, mispick rate and on-time despatch by day and by picker - so improvements can be measured rather than asserted. ## Real-world use cases ### Peak season chaos **Scenario:** A distributor tripled order volume in the run-up to Christmas and coped by adding temporary staff who needed a week of shadowing before they were useful. **Outcome:** Scan-directed picking meant temporary pickers were productive within an hour, because the handheld tells them where to go and what to scan. Peak was covered with fewer agency hours than the previous year. ### Credit notes from mispicks **Scenario:** A wholesaler was issuing several credit notes a week for wrong items shipped. Similar-looking products stored next to each other were the usual culprit. **Outcome:** Packing verification requires every item to be scanned into the carton against the order line. Mispicks reaching the customer effectively stopped, and the returns handling that came with them stopped too. ### Nobody knew if despatch would clear **Scenario:** The despatch manager could not say at 2pm whether the day’s orders would go out, so the carrier cut-off was a nightly gamble. **Outcome:** A live despatch board shows orders picked, packed and awaiting collection against the cut-off. Resource gets moved at midday rather than at five o’clock. ## Figures - **Scan-directed** New pickers productive within the hour - **At the bench** Mispicks caught before the label prints - **Automatic** Tracking pushed to the customer on despatch ## Frequently asked questions **Do we need a full warehouse re-layout first?** No. Most sites start by mapping their existing locations into the system exactly as they are, then use the resulting movement data to justify any re-layout. Doing it in that order means the changes are evidence-led. **Can it run alongside our existing order system?** It can via the API, but you will get far more from it as part of CubeERP - because then a short-pick, an allocation and a customer promise are the same data rather than three systems trying to agree. **Which carriers do you support?** The common UK carriers are supported directly, and others can be added - most publish an API for labels and tracking. Tell us who you use during discovery and we will confirm before you commit. **What happens when the wi-fi drops?** The handheld interface tolerates brief connectivity loss and re-syncs when the connection returns. If parts of your warehouse have no signal at all, that is worth fixing, and Crushed Ice does that too. ## Related solutions - **Stock Control Software** - Multi-location stock control with bin locations, barcode scanning, batch and serial traceability, and stock that is right first time. https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/hertfordshire/hemel-hempstead - **ERP Software** - One system for quotes, orders, stock, production, purchasing and invoicing - built in the UK for growing businesses. https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/erp-software/hertfordshire/hemel-hempstead - **Manufacturing Software** - Bills of materials, works orders, routings, capacity planning and job costing - manufacturing software that reflects what actually happened on the floor. https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/hertfordshire/hemel-hempstead - **Field Service Software** - Job scheduling, engineer mobile app, van stock, on-site sign-off and same-day invoicing - field service management joined up with the back office. https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/field-service-software/hertfordshire/hemel-hempstead ## Elsewhere in Hertfordshire See https://cubesystems.co.uk/software/warehouse-management-software/hertfordshire for warehouse management software across Hertfordshire. ## Contact - **Company:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubesystems.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubesystems.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubesystems.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:30 - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
