In today's intralogistics, efficiency, flexibility and transparency are critical drivers of a company's success. Modern warehouses must be simultaneously capable of responding to market dynamics in real time, reliably fulfilling delivery commitments and maintaining cost-effective operations.
With PROLAG World, the modular warehouse management software from CIM GmbH, these goals can be effectively achieved through the use of intelligent strategies and future-proof technologies.
In modern warehouse environments, a static inventory snapshot is no longer sufficient. What’s needed is real-time transparency across all stock movements, statuses and storage locations. PROLAG World enables this level of visibility through continuous data acquisition using mobile devices such as scanners and sensors. In addition to inventory management at article level, status information such as lock status and batch is captured and processed automatically.
In highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and automotive, functions like traceable batch and serial number management and centralized management of multiple clients in a single system are essential for ensuring compliance and operational integrity. PROLAG World is designed to seamlessly meet these requirements.
In traditional order picking processes, travel times can account for up to 50% of total processing time – representing a major opportunity for optimization. PROLAG World addresses this challenge with multiple advanced logistical algorithms designed to reduce unnecessary movement and boost efficiency. Whether it’s chaotic warehousing, zone-controlled picking or intelligent order bundling, the software continuously analyzes and optimizes warehouse product flow. The system also supports resource-based planning, for example, by prioritizing order assignments based on the availability of personnel, equipment and other operational resources. In practice, customers have achieved significant productivity gains in order picking with the help of PROLAG World, while also seeing a notable reduction in error rates.
Many warehouses are now preparing to take the next step towards partial or full automation. PROLAG World supports this transition by enabling gradual integration of automated systems – without disrupting ongoing operations or compromising system stability. Warehouse lifts, driverless transport systems (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robot-assisted storage and picking systems can all be controlled directly from the WMS through standardized interfaces.
A key unique selling point of PROLAG World is its ability to seamlessly coordinate heterogeneous systems, bringing together manual and automated processes within a single, unified interface.A shortage of skilled workers and a high employee turnover pose major challenges for logistics companies. It is therefore crucial that new employees can be trained quickly, regardless of their prior experience or the language they speak. PROLAG World features a role-based user interface with intuitive workflows, visual guidance and fully configurable dashboards.
Thanks to CIM’s mobile solution PROLAG Go, tasks such as goods receipt entries, transfer bookings or inventory checks can be completed on-the-spot. This speeds up processes while simultaneously minimizing media disruptions.
A modern warehouse management system (WMS) is more than just a tool for managing operations – it also serves as a powerful analytics platform. With integrated reporting, PROLAG World provides access to both operational metrics (picking times, goods throughput, service levels) and strategic KPIs, such as warehouse capacity utilization and the performance of specific warehouse zones. This data supports not only internal controlling, but also forecasting and simulations – to anticipate seasonal fluctuations or evaluate new business opportunities, for example.
PROLAG World includes specialized modules tailored to various industries, such as returns management for e-commerce, multi-client administration for 3PL service providers or replenishment control for production assembly stations. These specialized features enable the efficient mapping of processes that are precisely tailored to the respective application, avoiding the need for oversized standard solutions.
PROLAG World plays a key role in boosting efficiency in warehouse logistics, not only by digitizing existing processes but also by actively optimizing them. The software integrates real-time data, automation connectivity, user-centric operation and advanced analysis functions in one flexible system. With over 40 years of industry expertise, CIM GmbH provides a solution that not only meets today’s needs but is also scalable for the future – from manually operated warehouses to fully automated multi-channel logistics.
