Better inventory management and control

For a successful warehousing system in place it is important to always maintain low inventory levels, faster order fulfilment time and lower order cycle time. There should be a design in place to ensure you have control over all the activities in your warehouse. A warehouse management system enables you to keep track of each and every unit in detail so that you can improve accuracy of your inventory and helps you with better order fulfilment. Who wouldn’t want to make the cumbersome process of inventory management easier faster and more efficient? Warehouse management systems provide real-time information and accurate and quick feedback so that companies can adjust and respond immediately to the needs of their customers. It is very important for distributors and wholesalers to have information about their warehouses on their fingertips.

Tracking and customer service

The buying experience that you give your customer is dependent on your warehouse functions. To ensure the best of customer service you need to ensure that your products are available and not in stock whenever there is an order that comes in from the customer. It is also important that your customer gets exactly what he had ordered when he opens that package at home. Warehouse management systems help in improving the picking accuracy so that orders are always correct the first time round and the need to handle returns is minimised. Not only that, tracking and organising shipments is way easier when automated. Everything can be tracked right from shipment routes to assignments given to workers.

Improved productivity of the organisation

It is important that your company meets its productivity goals and your warehouse is a key factor in making that happen. Better efficiency and consistency of the processes followed help you increase the speed at which this happens. More work gets done in lesser time because everything is in place when it is needed.
