The Challenge: Meeting Changing Demands in Warehousing and Logistics

The role of the warehouse is changing. No longer just a big space to store inventory, today’s warehouse operation is fast-paced and often decentralized. Inventory turns faster than ever as retailers and manufacturers try to keep up with consumer and business customer expectations in a ‘need it now’ culture. Operating across multiple channels — retail, catalog, and Internet — creates a new set of logistical challenges. Customers expect to be able to place an order through any one of those channels and either receive overnight or prompt delivery to their home or business, or pick the order up at their local store or the warehousing facility as early as the next day. Even with freight and material shipments with longer lead times, the demand for order accuracy, faster delivery, traceability, and real-time tracking is pushing warehousing and logistics operations to improve productivity and processes. Warehouse operations are under increasing pressure to be incredibly agile and efficient to ensure customer satisfaction and grow their business.

The benefits of real-time inventory visibility ripple throughout the enterprise, improving efficiency in the yard, on the production line, and in dispatch, delivery, sales, and service functions. Now, the same information that improves warehouse efficiency can also help you achieve key strategic business objectives, including:
