About This DocumentAccellos One Warehouse Product StructureACCELLOS ONE WAREHOUSE PRODUCT STRUCTUREThe Accellos One Warehouse product line is structured as follows:Collect Edition—The 'basic' or 'easy' edition of Accellos One Warehouse. Collect is designedto be a true entry-level product. It offers simplified user processes and implementation, whilestill providing a robust WMS solution.Manage Edition—This is essentially the Collect Edition with the addition of the Kitting andMulti-Zone modules. It maintains the simplicity of the entry-level Collect Edition, whileproviding ‘Kitting' for sites that need some sort of production facility and ‘Multi-zone’functionality for sites that need to use zones for specific purposes such as hazmat or freezersor if they define their warehouse layout using different zones. The Manage Edition also allowsyou to optionally purchase additional modules, as required.FulFill Edition—Builds on the features and functions of the Collect Edition by adding some ofthe most commonly used advanced features. Fulfill addresses the desire for the mostfrequently requested enhancements, without requiring customers to buy specialized featuresthey don't need. Growing businesses will find that the upgrades in the Fulfill package provideadditional functionality for current and future needs.Optional Module and Toolkits—Since many businesses have specialized needs, Accellos OneWarehouse offers numerous modules/toolkits that can be purchased individually. Accellosunderstands that businesses don't want to buy functionality that they will never use or thatthey don't have the infrastructure to support. Therefore, the product structure allows you topinpoint and purchase only the modules/toolkits you require. Modules are a standard set of functions that do not require any additionaldevelopment to implement. Toolkits are used by our Professional Services Development Team to build customsolutions for customers. For example, we have the ability to control carousels andconveyors, but each site requires some level of customization. The customer would berequired to purchase the Warehouse Automation Toolkit and then a number of daysof custom development at our standard PS rates in order to implement a completesolution.GETTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONThe documentation set is intended to provide a targeted approach information as follows: Collect and Manage users need documents designated for Collect Edition or have nodesignated edition. Fulfill Users and purchaser of optional modules and toolkits need documents designatedfor the Fulfill Edition, the Collect Edition or have no designated edition.Depending on your role and the products purchased, you may want to reference some of thefollowing documents:VIII Overview of Accellos One Warehouse Accellos One Warehouse Web Dispatch FunctionsHANDHELD FUNCTIONSACCELLOS ONE WAREHOUSE
