After top-VOX had only just certified its pick by voice solution, topSPEECH-Lydia for seamless integration into SAP, the company is now taking it one step further. The IT specialist for logistics applications now also offers an interface to Microsoft Dynamics business software and its previous versions. These include versions still in use at many SMEs, such as MS Dynamics 2009, MS Dynamics AX 4.0 and Microsoft Axapta 3.0. A major plus for the solution is that it requires no middleware. The interface was developed in a two-partner joint project between top-VOX and Dynamics Concepts, the Danish experts at the development and implementation of IT-supported work processes in logistics and warehouse environments.
Plug & Play guarantees uncomplicated coupling of topSPEECH-Lydia and MS Dynamics/Axapta. Its process logic is based entirely on business software from Redmond. To that extent, all of the standard processes of the ERP solution, such as printing of delivery orders and labels, commissioning, inventory and shipping management, are naturally on hand. This also applies to the statistical functions of MS Dynamics/Axapta.
This way even businesses that count on MS Dynamics/Axapta now profit from considerably more efficient logistics processes through the use of pick by voice technology. Along with substantial quality improvements in assembling goods and increasing productivity, it provides a significant reduction in goods returned, thus allowing for a rapid return on investment.
