Warehouse & Inventory management includes six core processes. Each process influences the efficiency of the next, so every step must be optimized for the warehouse operation to run like a well-oiled machine:

1. Receiving. Check-in and log incoming items. Verify that the items received have the correct quantity, in the proper condition, are per schedule.
2. Put-away. Move items from the receiving dock to their correct storage locations.
3. Storage. Safely store and logically arrange inventory to enable fast and accurate picking.
4. Picking. Collect the items needed to fulfill sales orders.
5. Packing. Prepare the picked items for shipment. Safely pack items into the proper packaging with an accurate packing slip.
6. Shipping. Send out the finalized sales orders, ensuring that they are on the right vehicle, at the right time, with the correct documentation, so customers receive their orders on time.

These steps play a vital behind-the-scenes role in ensuring on-time delivery and productivity on our projects.

Inventory. Implement cycle counting and/or physical inventories using inventory system reports, inventory software, and count sheets to ensure inventory accuracy.
Organization. Optimizing the use of warehouse space to maximize inventory storage.
Comprehensive control. Warehouse management involves coordinating complex processes involving many moving parts: people, equipment, orders, and inventory. Warehouse Manager will need to be able to track each process to ensure it's running smoothly and solve the problems that inevitably occur. Quality control is critical to ensure orders are fulfilled accurately.
Flexibility and resilience. Warehouse Manager must be able to change plans with little notice, whether it's because materials have arrived damaged or because inclement weather is delaying shipments. It's also important to be able to adjust workflows to maximize efficiency, whether that involves rearranging warehouse space or reimagining picking processes.
Customer focus. On-time delivery, with the correct product, is one of the most important metrics when it comes to customer service and satisfaction. To deliver on time, you need to be able to fulfill orders quickly and accurately.
