Finding and maintaining the optimal inventory levels is crucial to your business success and growth. Customers expect stock availability, when and where they want it. Stockouts could lead to lost sales and lost customers. On the other hand, excess inventory is nothing more than stagnant cash losing value over time. So, invest in information, NOT excess inventory.
If you have the right information, you can hold less inventory. For your inventory management, the right information must be accurate, complete, continuously updated in real-time, easily accessible, and quickly digestible.
An effective Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a crucial, integrated software control system that improves information and material flows and handling operations within a warehouse. These systems range from the most rudimentary to highly sophisticated offerings incorporating artificial intelligence and robotics. While a WMS is a vital investment, it can potentially be very costly if you have not researched carefully to achieve the desired return on our investment. When implemented effectively and maintained correctly, the right WMS fficiently manages information to achieve high levels of real-time visibility and control, nventory accuracy, throughput and superior customer service.
Supply chains have been digitally transforming for years, the COVID-19 pandemic has put global supply chain networks under intense scrutiny, highlighted their weaknesses and flaws, and forced logistics providers to accelerate digital transformation efforts.
