Standard operating procedures, employee training, and staff meetings only go so far when you're trying to create an airtight system for managing inventory and orders. Instead of bombarding employees with constant training and threats, we've created technology that drives accuracy, making their jobs easier to do.
With our warehouse management system, P3PL, we have:
-
Reduced variables for workers by creating one way of pushing orders through the system
-
Automated the process of finding items in our warehouse grid, so that workers don't get lost in 100,000 + sq ft of racks
-
Created robust scanning technology with built-in fail safes that force the right worker to quickly find the right item in the right location
How does our scanning technology enforce accuracy?
Here's one example. If a worker scans his location—a mandatory step in the picking process—and it doesn't match the location of your order, our technology prohibits him from scanning and picking any items at that location.
Through constant use, testing, and refinement we've also enhanced our counting capabilities.
