Mod43, Lucas Systems deliver WMS with just a whisper

   Mod43 and Lucas Systems have joined forces to deliver a voice-based solution for Oracle’s warehouse management system customers that allows speech as an input for picking and directing warehouse tasks.
   The companies said the system, named Jennifer VoicePlus, will improve associate productivity and accuracy, reducing distribution center costs and improving performance.
   Mod43, a systems integrator specializing in Oracle WMS applications and Lucas Systems, a provider of voice-directed warehouse applications, said that the partnership will see both companies sell the product jointly and integrated it into existing terminals.
   “Jennifer VoicePlus is the ideal complement to Oracle WMS, providing optimized voice-enabled picking and other warehouse processes using standards-based integration rather than customized middleware,” says John McKeehan, president of Mod43.
   Chris Sweeney, SVP of Lucas Systems, said, “Jennifer VoicePlus allows users to speak information or scan barcodes, ensuring they can work as accurately and productively as possible. And for warehouse managers, Jennifer’s Engage Management Services Console includes a complete suite of voice process management, user productivity and other reporting tools that extends the inventory and warehouse management capabilities of their Oracle systems.”
