Are You a Best-Run Business? Reducing Costs with Warehouse Management System (WMS) In tough economic times, many businesses are cutting back costs in an attempt to stay afloat. However, there is no greater time to invest in solutions that enhance productivity than when you're trying to save costs. At first it may appear counter-intuitive to invest in a new system while trying to cut back on expenses, but by improving efficiencies, you can save countless dollars in labor costs, shipping expenses, customer service salaries, and much more.
With a relatively small initial investment, your company can reap the long-term benefits and gain profitability. Softengine WMS is a real-time inventory control solution, designed to integrate directly with your SAP Business One ERP system. Using wireless scanners, it allows the warehouse staff to instantly update the business management system, ensuring that all users throughout the organization have the most up-to-date information.
With Softengine WMS, your business will:
- Save Manpower: implementing Softengine WMS can have substantial impact on reducing clerical effort and thereby freeing up staff to do other important tasks around the organization. For example: receiving purchase orders with Softengine WMS will eliminate the need to have someone collect all the paperwork, go to the receiving screen in the SAP Business One system, and manually input what has been received. When using Softengine WMS, the information is updated in real-time, saving hours of manpower.
- Reduce Shipping Errors: Shipping the wrong goods to a customer can have a major impact on your bottom line. Your company will waste money dealing with irate customer phone calls, waste labor time handling the return and re-shipment of the correct order, lose money on the additional freight costs, and possibly miss out on future sales opportunities by having inaccurate inventory values. By shipping the right goods the first time with Softengine WMS, you will save these unnecessary costs.
- Improved Inventory Accuracy: Softengine WMS can help improve inventory accuracy which will then allow you to make better-informed decisions on issues like: satisfying order requests, planning purchases, and reducing inventory levels. Accurate inventory is the key to maximizing inventory dollars.
