Whether you run a large scale or small scale warehouse business, getting overwhelmed by its daily activities and processes is very easy. However, there are existing hacks (we can call them that) you can leverage to help lighten the load and keep your warehousing activities running in a more secure and efficient way.

Here are five (5) proven strategies for optimizing the daily management of your warehouse:

1 | Organize, Organize, Organize
An unorganized warehouse costs your company extra time and money when picking and shipping orders. Do you have a strategy for where goods are placed? Are multiple Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) separated or in bins with one another?

Another thing you can do to improve organization is to look at a floor plan of the warehouse and draw out the common paths that workers take when loading, picking, or packing. Do they end up retracing their steps a lot? Are commonly picked items nearby, or do they have to walk the length of the warehouse? If you can eliminate some of that extra time finding items, that alone will improve your warehouse’s efficiency.

2 | Avoid Manual Data Entry
Are you still writing Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on a notepad or entering them manually into a computer? These older methods are prone to human error and even loss of the physical document. The potential to mistype and the time taken to write or type each number by hand adds up to a lot of extra overhead.
