In warehouse logistics, organisation is a common issue: Simply put, how do you keep complete control over a warehouse of this size?
You must, however. You must be able to locate a specific item of inventory, a pallet containing an allegedly expired food item, or a truck that delivered a damaged item during transit. These controls are critical for smooth operations and healthy earnings, but they are practically impossible to implement without the use of specialised tools.
Warehouses face a variety of challenges, including inventory management, supply chain management, cost controls, human resources, risk management, and security. So, how do you achieve enough flexibility to be competitive while maintaining adequate quality?
How HELIOS Logistics tackle Warehouse Logistics Challenges?
- Ensure accurate inventory counts in real time: Understand how much inventory you have and where it is in your warehouse.
- Reduce returns: An accurate inventory analysis ensures that the correct item is sent the first time.
- Allow your WMS to auto-replenish inventory when stock levels get low, rather than waiting until you’re out (or almost out) of stock to purchase more.
- Maximize warehouse space: Some warehouse management systems (WMS) automate warehouse processes (such as stock rotation and picking), which means you’ll need less floor space for workers, allowing you to store more inventory.
