Where’s My Stock?
As a distributor, not knowing the details of your inventory is extremely dangerous. Your stock is your business, and a lack of visibility can create a cascade of issues. From restricted cash flow to lost customers to everything in between, inventory optimization and warehouse visibility are critical to your success.Your warehouse is massive, or maybe even multisite, so tracking inventory takes more than just paper processes. You know there are solutions out there, but you’re also concerned about user adoption across your warehouse staff. You need something that works intuitively, has the functionality you need to truly manage your warehouse and to scales as you grow.
Without warehouse management technology, your business suffers from:
- Increased labor costs due to redundant staff and poorly organized warehouses
- Manual processes that constantly expose you to risk
- Ineffective or inaccurate paperwork that does not follow the flow of goods, leading to:
- Unrecorded or delayed shipments
- Mismanaged inventory levels
- Lost or duplicated orders
- Reduced cash flow
- Inventory write-offs
- Misplaced inventory, which increases the time it takes to pick and pack orders, increasing labor costs and reducing productivity
- A lack of visibility into inventory levels which leads to:
- Over-ordering or under-ordering of stock, disrupting your ability to meet the needs of your top clients (who account for ~80% of revenues)
- A reduced ability to deliver on time, which puts you at risk of breaching an SLA, costing you in fines and frustrated customers
- Increases shipping fees
- Recurrent customer dissatisfaction
- Frustrated staff
