  Student Loans: Texas  
 
Individual Loan Packages for students from universities nationally need to be warehoused, imaged and retrieved for legal and credit purposes and re-filed.
Tracking the files as they arrive from various parcel carriers, sorting them into logical put-away sequence, and putting them away was a task for this facility. The facility is also tasked with retrieving them in a timely way for a legal enforcement as well as imaging (taking electronic photos of each relevant page) them before allowing them to leave the facility and keeping track of where and when those originals left possession. The images were needed to be matched with the originals when returned and re-filed in the storage location designated by the system
As with most clients, this client had an existing software package that handled order entry. They needed something that would work with this system but augment and integrate with it. They also had a WMS (Warehouse Management System) and handheld RF equipment that no longer was adequate for the job. They were required to continue using the current RF equipment but needed the WMS updated to accommodate the realities and geometrically increased size of their project. Because of the bi-annual bidding for the government fulfillment process, they needed a solution quickly to help secure future bids and within a budget that wouldn’t break the bank if they lost the project.
Alcazar Ltd provided the evaluation, solution design, short and long-term phased project benchmarks and implementation team.
 
 
The components were:
 
 
A greatly enhanced WMS system for warehouse control and communication to their existing RF equipment.
A TMS (transportation management system) to handle incoming and outgoing shipments that managed multiple carriers and modes of shipment.
A USPS manifest/permit mailing system to handle fulfillment and invoicing for supplies.
Alcazar Ltd also provided the ongoing communication between engineers, phased billing, and accounts payable.
The project was completed in less time than projected by competing bids and within the budget anticipated (a rarity) for WMS applications.
