COFE

COFE (Continuous Order Fulfillment Enterprise) was the first and remains the most advanced Warehouse Execution System. The WES software works in real-time to organize, sequence and synchronize warehouse resources. COFE organizes and optimizes order fulfillment by sequencing and synchronizing work flows.

If you’re working off a plan including waving orders and buffering work, you will always have unavoidable warehouse inefficiencies that can only be solved by creating a waveless process. Use COFE to optimize your order fulfillment!
