Top 5 Benefits Of Automated Warehouse Solutions For Your Business

Here are the top five benefits of warehouse automation and how Optima WMS can help your business achieve this :

Reduce your labour costs

Manually managing warehouse operations can be time-consuming and expensive. By automating key tasks such as inventory tracking, order processing, and stock replenishment, businesses can significantly cut down on labour costs.

• Using integrations and automation we reduce reliance on manual data entry, freeing up staff for higher-value tasks
• Optimise workforce allocations, ensuring resources are used efficiently

Gain more accurate inventory management

Warehouses thrive on real-time, accurate data, and automation ensures inventory levels are always up-to-date. With full visibility of stock movements, you can prevent overstocking, understocking, and costly mistakes. Bespoke solutions mean you can choose the data and inventory information to review that is relevant to you.

How Optima WMS Can Help :

• Uses barcode scanning tasks for error free inventory tracking
• Customisable dashboard widgets let you track only the data that matters to you

Scale effectively and efficiently

Expanding your operation without the right system in place can be risky. A cloud-based WMS ensures your business can grow seamlessly without operational bottlenecks.

• Utilise automated processes, with validations to reduce warehouse inefficiencies, ensuring smooth expansion with minimal disruption

Clear sight over billing and reports

From profit margins to invoicing, having instant access to financial data is crucial for making informed business decisions. Without real-time insight, businesses risk financial inefficiencies, delayed payments, and inaccurate reporting, all of which can affect profitability and cash flow.

• Generate automated invoice reports based on storage, handling and fulfilment charges ensuring accurate customer billing
• Integrates and syncs with a wide number of accounting systems for seamless financial management

Reduce errors in order fulfilment

Errors in order fulfilment can lead to delays, incorrect shipments, increased returns, and dissatisfied customers. Mistakes such as mispicks, incorrect quantities, or missing items not only cost money but also damage your brand reputation. Automating fulfilment processes ensures that every order is accurate, timely, and efficiently processed.

How Optima WMS Can Help :

• Automate picking processes eliminating manual error and guides through optimised picking routes, ensuring correct stock is selected based on FIFO, BBE or custom rules
• Verifies items at every stage with Barcode scanning tasks, reducing mispicks, incorrect quantities and duplicated shipments all while ensuring accurate packing and labelling
