Why Invest in a WMS?

Investing in a WMS (Warehouse Management System) software is a cost effective business investment.

It can mean the difference between a year in the black and a year in the red.

There are a number of reasons to invest in WMS software, and automating the control of stock in your warehouse.

However, in a nutshell, there are two key outcomes:

  • Improved accuracy
  • Improved efficiency

Your margins are being squeezed, so you need to improve your processes and drive down costs.

Investing in WMS software can have a rapid and positive impact on your bottom line.

Optimiser WMS drives down warehousing costs

When you invest in a WMS you can reduce operating costs, providing you with an excellent return on investment.

Here’s how and why:

  • Labour costs can be reduced by as much as 30% – as employees spend less time per order than if they were using paper based stock control
  • Your WMS directs staff to put away and pick in the most economical, productive and effective way
  • A WMS is environmentally friendly, minimising paper use and wasted stock

Optimiser WMS improves accuracy and efficiency

If your business is a 3PL or fulfilment company you may currently be struggling to fulfil customer orders at busy times and be limiting your sales as a result.

Investing in a WMS means you’ll see:

  • Quicker processing times
  • Increased productivity

Enabling your business to grow and prosper.

Here’s how and why:

  • Lost stock will quickly become a thing of the past  – adding barcode readers means you can achieve 100% pick accuracy
  • A WMS enables you to focus on managing your business – by making optimum use of staff and warehouse capacity

Optimiser WMS help you provide better customer service

When you invest in a WMS orders can be fulfilled quicker, more accurately and you’ll reduce errors, in turn reducing returns and complaints.
