When it comes to Warehouse Inventory Management, organizing and maximizing productivity while saving time and money to increase inventory accuracy cannot be overemphasized. To grow your business (for those who run warehouses), you must optimize by automating even the most simple practices relating to your inventory.

Dominique Robinson says: “Every year businesses lose substantial amount of money because of mis-ships, out-of-stock, returns, and human errors, which can all be avoided by optimizing your warehouse workflow.”

There are five (5) proven ways to improve the performance and management of your warehouse and overall business turnover:

1 | Maintain Good Organization and upkeep of your inventory through regular inspection. This encourages effective workflow. How?

a. Ensure proper location of stock for easy access. Get your floor plan right. Maximize the space in your warehouse.

b. Maintain adequate response to scheduled practices. For instance, where are damaged items designated to be kept; and what the scheduled frequency of dealing with them?

c. Use an inventory management software to ensure that your scheduled inspection is effective.

2 | Make sure that the items that sell higher and faster than others are placed closer to shipping area for faster and easier accessibility. This eliminates unnecessary labour time.

3 | Ensure that only authorized warehouse staff/officers walk around the warehouse. You wouldn’t want having unauthorized personnel pacing the area; bringing disorganization. Distinguish the authorized personnel using branded or properly labeled shirts/vests.

4 | Eliminate errors that may occur at the points of receiving items into the warehouse. Do this by allotting enough space for movements at such areas. An inventory management software can help eliminate these errors.

5 | Endeavour to properly label every single item in the warehouse. A warehouse and inventory management software can automatically generate accurate labeling system for your items. It seamlessly allows you print out your product and location labels; and can further be customized to suit your specific needs.

Ensuring an automatic and seamless method to the recurring system of receiving, picking, packing and shipping of items in your warehouse would relieve you of any unnecessary hassles; and correspondingly deliver a rise in your warehouse productivity and business operations.
