INVENTORY CONTROL ISSUES?

Let’s Take Control of Your Inventory Operations including SOP’s, Physical Inventory and Cycle Count Plan!

Overstocking – Many businesses tend to over-stock items that take up additional space and increase storage costs.
Limited Visibility –  Limited visibility makes managing inventory a challenge, which in turn can make it difficult to process orders on time.
Legacy Processes – Manual paper-based inventory procedures can create serious bottlenecks and errors, especially during seasonal peaks or when companies are in growth mode.
Fulfilment Efficiencies – Order fulfilment errors will negatively affect customer satisfaction and your brand reputation.  Businesses that refrain from adopting digital hardware and inventory solutions may not have the efficiency to compete in their industry.

E-COMMERCE CHALLENGES?

How are E-Commerce orders flowing into your facility? Are there opportunities for improvement and can you scale for the future?

Reverse Logistics – Inventory that is returned is expensive to manage and store accurately.  This process must be as efficient as purchasing.
On-Time Delivery – Order fulfillment means picking and delivering on time.  When retailers have no control over their carrier’s shipping ability, customers will blame the brand, not the carrier.
Data Visibility – Poor decision-making and management stems from the inability to see real-time metrics across the distribution network.  This leads to inaccurate or unreliable data sourced from multiple locations.

LABOUR & PRODUCTIVITY?

What tools and metrics do you have in place to optimize workflows and labour for greater success during peak seasons.

Finding and retaining talent – Sourcing the right talent in this economy is challenging and requires consideration towards higher wages, flexible shifts, paid breaks, and a worker-friendly culture with advancement opportunities.
Meeting Labour Costs – Cost-cutting must be handled correctly to ensure minimal workplace disruption.  Labour turnover can lead to inefficiencies and increased spend on training.
Quality Control‍ – Well-trained warehouse staff that understands inventory management can take on quality control positions to protect the brand’s reputation. This in turn simplifies warehouse management and is predictably reliable.
