Information and Data Processing

Your business revolves around the warehouse. Making sure that your products are sent on time and arrive at the correct destination is critical to the success of your company’s operations. At iGSG we understand that, we also know that information and data processing is an important part of any intralogistics system.

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps you track inventory operations. From inventory control, shipping and receiving goods and materials, to order fulfilment. A WMS helps you manage your warehouse properly, potentially saving thousands of pounds or more, every month.

The following are typical problems experienced by businesses not using a WMS:

DataProcessing

Access to information is typically slow normally because it is entered onto a system hours, days, or weeks late
Information is not 100% accurate
Mis-shipments and incorrect orders often occur
Invoices are sent out weeks after shipments are sent
Items aren’t easily located as they are moved within the warehouse
Product goes missing

These are some of the reasons why people turn to WMS and find it saves them time and money. A WMS helps organisations run their warehouse operations more efficiently. It can be as simple as helping out with problem areas in the warehouse through to accurate data provision. It can be as detailed as you want. For example helping you figure out how much and where to stock inventory based on historical usage levels and cost of goods.

A WMS software package can be tailored and customised to fit a company’s unique operations. We have found that no matter how similar companies look from the outside, their operations typically have unique aspects that a WMS package needs to conform to. Combine the warehouse management system with a wireless network, mobile computers, RFID technology, and voice picking applications and you can increase efficiencies, and increase customer service levels.

Whilst WMS is not new it is technology that cannot be simply implemented by an IT professional. It needs practical experience. This is what iGSG bring to every WMS project.
