At Dura-Ramp we have been working to guide our client into how they can improve their warehouse operations. One way to do this is by using a loading ramp. However there are also other tools that can be used in tandem to skyrocket productivity. Here are some of the benefits of utilizing a digital warehouse inventory system.
Efficiency
With a digital warehouse inventory system, each worker can be outfitted with a device (phone, tablet, handheld computer) to scan in items and update the inventory logs directly. This saves time that was usually spent filling out forms and documents and handing them to another person to be entered.
This also allows everyone to quickly view current product levels instead of manually counting stock. If the system is being used correctly, it is simple act of addition and subtraction in the system to obtain accurate inventory levels at a glance. In the event that there is a rush order, anyone can simply review the system and find the numbers of product that are needed quickly and where the product is located.
Logistically, you will be able to manage incoming and outgoing orders more efficiently. Rather than trying to organize a schedule manually to make sure that inventory is flowing correctly, a digital system can manage incoming and outgoing orders so you can organize your people for optimal flow.
Proper Documentation
With a digital system there is clear, consistent documentation for everything. You will be able to see adjustments made everywhere, and by whom. In the event that there is a mistake, it can be pinpointed to an exact event and addressed much faster.
The digital documentation also helps remote parties get a better picture of warehouse inventory levels. Whether it is an online sales system or a salesperson coordinating with the warehouse, it can provide accurate results quickly without delay. These factors can improve your customer confidence in your operations and consistency.
The warehouse is the backbone of many businesses. If it is not running efficiently it can affect everyone else. Using the tools available can save money and improve the level of service provided to customers.
