Hey there, JDE Connection listeners!

Welcome back to The JDE Connection! We’re your hosts, Chandra Wobschall and Paul Houtkooper, and we’re thrilled to kick off 2025 with an overview of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Logistics. This episode is packed with insights into how JD Edwards streamlines inventory management, outbound inventory, warehouse operations, and transportation logistics. Whether you’re managing a single warehouse or an intricate global supply chain, we’ve got you covered.

What Does Logistics Really Mean?

Logistics might sound like just moving goods from Point A to Point B, but as we explored in this episode, it’s so much more. It’s about visibility, control, and optimization across every link in the chain. From inventory management to transportation, JD Edwards simplifies complexity, helping businesses stay ahead in a fast-paced world.

Breaking Down the Modules

Inventory Management
As Chandra points out, inventory is like a giant game of Tetris. You’re not just stacking blocks; you’re managing thousands of items across facilities, with end-to-end visibility that feels like GPS for your stock. From tracking lot-controlled items to managing dual units of measure, JD Edwards ensures your inventory is always in harmony.

Outbound Inventory Management
Ever hear of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)? This module ensures inventory at customer sites is managed seamlessly, reducing stockouts and building stronger supplier-customer relationships along with providing automatic billing and replenishment capabilities.

Warehouse Management
Warehouse space is precious, and this module helps you maximize every square inch. Features like wave and zone picking, real-time tracking, and containerization (aka warehouse Tetris!) streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and keep customers happy.

Transportation Management
Logistics isn’t just about the warehouse—it’s about getting products to customers efficiently. From route optimization to advanced shipping notifications, this module ensures every shipment is on time, cost-effective, and tracked in real-time.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited to dive even deeper into these modules in future episodes. If you found value from this overview and/or the others we previously published, and you want more granular insights, please stay tuned as we peel back the layers of the onion on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne feature functionality.

Midwesternism of the Day

We couldn’t resist ending this episode with a laugh where we cover a winter hobby involving tip-ups, tiny houses, and flashers! A sport commonly associated with the Midwesternism from Ep #43.
