Ultimately, a professional inventory management system is a prerequisite for being able to process orders smoothly and in a short time:
Because each product has a fixed location tailored for quick picking, orders can be assembled and shipped most efficiently.
All items are available in the required quantity. The precise overview and a reporting system enable products to be reordered on time. On the one hand, this avoids bottlenecks and, on the other hand, the warehouse is not stuffed full with what is already available. This means there are no additional storage costs.
The precise overview ensures that the right items leave the warehouse at the right time. Good storage organization prevents higher expenses due to expiry, especially for food or other products with an expiry date.
What are the benefits of inventory control?
An inventory control serves to monitor the inventory. She tries to compare the physical inventory, i.e. what is actually in the warehouse, with the book inventory, and the assumed value of it. While in the past an inventory was carried out in certain cycles and the existing items were recorded on paper or in an Excel spreadsheet, today the control is often carried out permanently by software.
Since each article has its number, the deviations are smaller. The scanning process logs when an item arrives and leaves the warehouse.
Nevertheless, things can disappear from stock without notification, for example, due to theft or damage. Regular inventory control avoids out-of-stock situations, which usually result in disappointed customers due to unexpectedly long delivery times. In this way, refill orders can be placed on time; the storage processes become more consistent and efficient.
