Introducing an “<strong>App</strong> Store” for Your Supply Chain<br />

The <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong><br />

What if <strong>the</strong>re was an “app store” for your supply chain management software? What if you could browse and add functionality to your warehouse<br />

management system (WMS) anytime—similar to how you add new apps to your smart phone? With <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong>, now you can.<br />

Problems Created by <strong>the</strong> Typical WMS<br />

Our WMS has a whole lot of features we’re not even using, expanding<br />

our support costs.<br />

It’s expensive to upgrade our WMS.<br />

It’s a pain having to involve <strong>the</strong> vendor every time we need to add or<br />

change functionality—not to mention expensive!<br />

I’m concerned about <strong>the</strong> risk of messing up some o<strong>the</strong>r part of <strong>the</strong><br />

application when I make a change.<br />

Typical enterprise software solutions are bloated with features that<br />

only a small number of customers need. That means you have to<br />

absorb all <strong>the</strong>se features every time you upgrade, whe<strong>the</strong>r you need<br />

<strong>the</strong>m or not. And because <strong>the</strong> code is all intertwined, changing one<br />

thing could cause something else to break.<br />

The <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong> Solution<br />

The <strong>HighJump</strong> WMS enables you to make rapid adjustments to<br />

your system to meet changing market and customer requirements,<br />

without disturbing <strong>the</strong> underlying code or existing personalizations.<br />

Now, with <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong>, you have continuous access to<br />

a steady stream of new supply chain innovations—just browse <strong>the</strong><br />

apps and add <strong>the</strong> features you need.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong> You Can…<br />

• Access a steady stream of new supply chain innovations<br />

• Maintain only <strong>the</strong> functionality you need<br />

• Keep scheduled upgrades quick and simple<br />

• Personalize new apps without disturbing existing supply<br />

chain workflows<br />

• Add functionality without costly, time-consuming custom coding<br />

• Relax, knowing all apps in <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong> are tested<br />

and supported by <strong>HighJump</strong> Support


How Does <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong> Work?<br />

1. Owen, <strong>the</strong> warehouse manager, needs to incorporate a new<br />

customer picking requirement into <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> WMS.<br />

2. Owen asks Jack, <strong>the</strong> IT manager if <strong>the</strong>re is an app for this<br />

picking requirement.<br />

3. Jack browses <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong>, finds <strong>the</strong> picking process<br />

he needs, and downloads <strong>the</strong> app—free of charge.<br />

4. Because apps in <strong>the</strong> <strong>HighJump</strong> <strong>App</strong> <strong>Station</strong> can be installed<br />

by your own staff, Jack has <strong>the</strong> new picking workflow up and<br />

running within a few hours, without disturbing existing WMS<br />

personalizations and without extended downtime.<br />
