Challenges
Transform Your Greatest Challenges Into Opportunities
The shift to B2C fulfillment has changed the landscape of logistics. Will you only exist or will you excel?
SKU Proliferation
Customers continue to demand new options, resulting in serious SKU challenges.
Be in charge of your situation
- Use variable height picking processes to increase SKU capacity
- Place slower-moving SKUs above faster-moving ones for efficient access to frequently picked items
- Add case flow lanes to pick lines to accommodate more SKUs
Increased Costs
Rising costs and competition are increasing industry pressures
How can you manage increased costs?
- Deploy robotics to automate tasks and help reduce costs
- Increase speed and accuracy with sortation software technology
- Optimisze your power source and charging strategy
Space Constraints
Escalating SKU counts are forcing the need for more space, a costly capital expense.
Optimise your footprint
- Go vertical, and take advantage of unused cubic space
- Use narrow aisles to achieve greater overall space utilisation
- Deploy advanced inventory management systems to increase capacity of existing space
Consumer Expectations
Same-day delivery is becoming an expectation. To beat the competition and keep costs down, speed and agility are imperative.
Enhance operator productivity, meet demands
- Use advanced technologies and processes to put away and retrieve pallets faster
- Increase picking rates with solutions engineered for high throughput applications
- Use Big Data to help increase efficiency, lower operating costs and to offer value-added services
Space Utilisation
Customers place high value on the speed, security, traceability and cost of delivery.
Exceed delivery demands
- Integrate with your customers’ systems to provide accurate orders and visibility of shipments
- Use a distributed inventory model to shorten the final delivery distance
Labour Shortage
A smaller labour pool combined with seasonal volume and high turnover has created a labour shortage.
Retain and reduce turnover
- Redirect workers to more value-added tasks by deploying robotic solutions
- Offer advanced ergonomic lift truck solutions to help reduce musculoskeletal problems related to operation
- Use telematics to simplify checklists and reinforce positive behavior
