Inconvenient Warehouse Operations

Efficient warehouse operations are the beating heart of the fulfillment process. They ensure customer satisfaction just as much as a quality product does, because they make sure it gets to them on time and in one piece.

With two warehouses currently, it’s going to be a challenge to optimize your operations before adding two more later this year. Each warehouse uses a different software to manage day to day operations. They’re both connected to your order and inventory management system, but that’s where the similarities end. One’s expensive to keep updated or make changes in, and the other has a terrible user interface that makes daily work difficult.

Orders are being shipped on time, but you know that you can be more efficient, and you’re going to have to be if you plan to double the number of your warehouse locations.

Problems:

• Different warehouses operate with separate systems, processes, and organization.
• Unable to add additional locations without a smooth process.
• Tools aren’t user friendly, and require extra time and money to upkeep.

SkuNexus Warehouse Management

Warehouse management in SkuNexus is controllable and efficient. In fact, creating efficient warehouse operations is one of the main reason that we created SkuNexus.

That control and efficiency easily lends itself to adding more staff or locations after the core processes have been worked out. Operations are clear and straightforward, as employees are provided with custom pick + pack lists when moving around the warehouse. It’s the product of all the different functions within SkuNexus working in harmony - from inventory to fulfillment and shipping.

It also makes onboarding new team members or locations simple.
