The Event Handling/Active Messaging logistics capability is a proactive tool for warehouse inventory management. CoreWarehouse's strengths in warehouse/inventory control and warehouse planning are brought to the next level of usefulness by this flexible, dynamic, user-configurable system for defining events and the responses to them. Typical responses would be to send a message to a customer or employee via e-mail, broadcast to a desktop, in XML format or through a printer or fax.
With Event Handling/Active Messaging capabilities, users can use the Event Engine to set up their own event handling rules. Any information stored in the database can be used as the basis for an event, with the user defining the criteria for the event to be triggered and the responses desired. A simple, SQL-based interface is used to define the criteria for triggering an event. Message composition tools are used to define the responses to the events and the intended recipients.
Users are able to create any additional events and responses based upon their unique business processes and work flows.
The Event Handling/Active Messaging capability means you can automate your routine responses to customers and also set up warnings for when extraordinary occurrences take place. You control what triggers an event, and what the appropriate response will be.
