Warehouse and Distribution Centers
Streamlined Operations – How ScanOnline Benefits Modern Warehouses & Distribution Centers
The expansion of uses for the Internet of Things in enterprises, combined with advances in mobile handheld devices and high-performance wireless networks, fundamentally is transforming how Warehouse and Distribution facilities operate.
E-commerce is driving a huge demand for being the best at fulfillment and pick and pack. Supply chain optimization, in general, is in the forefront of thinking for executives and management across the country, as it has become the strongest source for increasing revenues outside of transactional business growth. Competition in sales is no longer the only competition to win.
An entire ecosystem of technology is what makes up much of the operations behind warehouse and distribution sites today. With the right combination, companies bring analytics, information, business systems and team members together, no matter the location.
The thing is, you need to define where your areas of improvement are, and the questions you need to ask:
- What is your end goal – centralizing warehouse management, track and trace improvements, improving pick and pack times, lowering labor costs, or something else?
- What is most important to collect data on – products, operations, assets, inventory?
- What areas of your warehouse are you concentrating on – for example, shipping/receiving, procurement, or something else?
- Who are your admin stakeholders of your, who are your end users, and how far (and deep) do you want warehouse information to go?
- Have you identified the tech you need to get the job done – from wireless network infrastructure, rugged mobile devices, to RFID systems, industrial label printers and more?
