The 8 biggest challenges in warehouse management
01
Human error
Inconsistent tracking.
Warehouse figures are late and inaccurate, with gaps between actual stock and recorded figures.
Poor communication and coordination between departments: Sales, Warehouse, Production, Accounting…
02
'Dead' inventory
Excess inventory hurts the company's cash flow.
Poor planning leads to production delays, stockouts and higher costs.
03
Untimely data
Data is unavailable and unreliable whenever exact figures are needed.
Queries, decisions and insights are delayed.
04
Late deliveries
Did you know:
Up to 31.2% of orders are filled incorrectly.
34% of businesses admit they do not always deliver on time because of unreliable inventory, inaccurate data.
05
Lack of automation
Data is not updated automatically.
Lost goods and shrinkage
More labor required.
Manual processes that do not scale easily across multiple warehouses with many items.
06
Inefficient management of space and stock locations
Limited visibility, inefficient warehouse space management and difficulty locating racks, quantities and the whereabouts of goods in the warehouse increase search and picking times.
07
Lack of management capability
It is hard to find skilled inventory managers who are fluent in new technology and can improve inventory strategy.
Managing inventory with paperwork and manual processes is tedious and unsafe. And it does not scale easily across multiple warehouses with many items.
08
Unsuitable software
Manual management with Excel files.
Unsuitable software that does not integrate with existing business process platforms.
Duplicated work and data across disconnected software.
