The secret to any successful business is efficient logistics and warehouse management. An effective warehouse management process increases efficiency and cuts costs by allowing optimum movement and storage of inventory. Better order cycles, improved worker productivity, cutting down on high costs, and managing data collection are some of the added benefits of a properly managed warehouse and logistic chain.
Why do businesses need warehouse management software?
Implementing warehouse management software like Sonar Technologies’ Logistic and Warehousing Solution is imperative to any logistic system. It has many benefits such as cost savings, reduced errors, customer satisfaction, and more.
1. Cost cutting
Most warehouses employ an extensive labor force consisting of managers, maintenance personnel, packers, and movers, which comprise about 65% of the entire warehouse budget. To stay at the top of the latest in-technology equipment is often required, which now creates a conundrum – whether to minimise workforce that could potentially impact daily operations or increase budget allocation to new technology. Either way, having more overheads can affect your profit margins. Having automated, operational Stock Management Software can optimize processes without the need to hire staff.
2. Inventory Control
Improving stock tracking and control is one of the primary functions of a Warehouse Management System. Stock control includes all orders that are to be picked, packed and shipped to the right customers. Any error within this system can cause the workflow to collapse and cause huge losses.
An automated logistic and warehousing system can help track orders, customer data, and transactions. That should improve long-term customer satisfaction levels.
3. Warehouse Space
The most critical factor for warehouse managers has enough storage space to store goods. With the poorly optimized layout at warehouses, items are at a higher risk of getting lost and taking more time to move from one location to another. In totality, a disorganized warehouse layout translates to a major loss in profits.
A warehouse management system built to locate required items and sorts items based on set criteria is necessary for increased productivity and profits. By integrating such a system, inventory holding costs can be lowered significantly in the long run.
4. Customer Satisfaction
Paperwork such as tickets, maintaining manual reports, packing lists etc. can be significantly reduced with STI’s warehouse management software. By streamlining the order-to-delivery process, warehouses can accurately deliver products to customers without any delay. This would reduce customer complaints and improve overall customer satisfaction.
5. Reduction in Lost Inventory
Integrating warehouse management software would help trace and assign designated slots to each item in the inventory list. This automated process would not allow items to get misplaced, thus reducing losses.
