Warehouse logistics FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The efficiency of your warehouse logistics operations<\/a> plays a vital role in how the rest of your supply chain functions. If things move seamlessly inside your warehouse, then your overall supply chain also moves with minimal glitches. This is why it\u2019s crucial for ecommerce retailers to optimise their warehouse logistics so they can enhance productivity and ensure timely fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we take a closer look at what warehouse logistics entails and what happens when it underperforms. We also share some of the key challenges that you might experience and how you can improve your warehouse logistics. Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is warehouse logistics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse logistics refers to the process of planning, organising, and controlling how goods move within your warehouse. It involves every aspect of the inflow of inventory such as receiving, put-away, and storage. It also involves the outflow of inventory, which includes picking, packing, and shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, warehouse logistics also relates to the information flow associated with the movement of inventory. This information flow needs to move transparently and seamlessly for goods to be transported within your warehouse as they should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when goods are received in your warehouse, they go through a scanning and sorting process so they can be recorded into your inventory management system<\/a> and assigned to the correct storage locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when warehouse logistics underperforms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the logistics operations in your warehouse don\u2019t function as they should, there can be a significant impact on your overall business. Here are some of the main impacts of an underperforming warehouse logistics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unnecessary overhead costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In most underperforming warehouses, overhead costs and unnecessary expenses can add up significantly over time. Tasks may take longer to be completed or may require a lot more resources to be completed because of improper planning and allocation. For instance, you may have to regularly pay overtime to complete certain tasks because you\u2019re lacking the workforce needed for your existing operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delays in order fulfilment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If different aspects of your warehousing operations aren\u2019t functioning as they should, it will significantly delay the inventory outflow, mainly related to order fulfilment<\/a>. Even with a slight delay in one warehousing process, you could experience a setback in the fulfilment aspect because the flow of inventory isn\u2019t as seamless as it needs to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, workers being unable to move efficiently in the warehouse means that there will be delays in order picking, which will eventually delay the packing and shipping processes as well. Similarly, storing items in the wrong location means workers will spend more time hunting down the right SKUs<\/a> from their picking list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impacts the customer experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When things move slowly in your warehouse, it means your customers aren\u2019t getting their orders when they should. Since there\u2019s a significant delay in key warehousing processes, the fulfilment process is slowed down, causing delays in order shipping and delivery<\/a>. Moreover, there may be issues with picking accuracy and product damages if there are problems in your warehouse logistics. All of these can contribute to a poor overall experience for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased risk of shrinkage and deadstock <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, inefficient warehousing operations and storage planning can lead to damaged goods and at-risk inventory<\/a>. This may be due to misplacing certain items, storing them in the wrong location, or even using poor shelving systems that can\u2019t hold the items properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, you could experience inventory shrinkage due to losing the items or damaging them in storage. Sometimes, the misplaced items may turn up well after their expiration date, leaving you with deadstock that\u2019s expensive to carry and time-consuming to get rid of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges of warehouse logistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While every business would want to avoid the above issues, managing your warehouse logistics can be extremely challenging. Here are some of the leading challenges you should prepare for in your warehouse logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Safety and security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although you want your warehousing processes to move quickly, this could lead to an increased safety and security risk if not planned properly. For example, if you\u2019re not using the right shelves but you still expect workers to quickly hunt down and pick items for order fulfilment, it puts them at risk of mishaps and accidents. Similarly, a poorly planned warehouse layout could prevent workers and warehousing vehicles from moving freely without knocking over something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important for businesses to regularly conduct warehouse inspections<\/a> to ensure that safety protocols are met and that products are stored according to specifications for greater efficiency. This inspection process will also detect any safety hazards or malfunctioning equipment that could pose a safety risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keeping accurate records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many warehouses also struggle with keeping accurate inventory records<\/a>, which can be detrimental to the information flow and subsequently affect warehouse logistics. Warehouses need an inventory management system to centralise all their inventory records and keep them updated in real-time. This system will automatically record data inputs from different parts of the warehouse and store them in a central location for relevant team members to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, conducting regular inventory audits<\/a> is also essential to ensure that inventory records are accurate and updated. This will ensure that you\u2019re working with reliable data that\u2019s up-to-date so you can make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Inventory management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Issues with inventory management<\/a> are one of the biggest challenges in warehouse logistics. Any inaccuracies related to inventory can cause major issues in your warehousing operations. For example, storing a SKU in the wrong location means workers will constantly have trouble locating the item for picking, which will subsequently cause delays in fulfilment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if you\u2019re not reordering inventory at the right time, you could end up with stockouts. This will translate to long lead times as you wait for a fresh batch of inventory to get delivered to your warehouse. Moreover, you\u2019ll end up with disappointed customers who might even turn to your competitors to find the product they want to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Supply chain setbacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Other setbacks in your supply chain operations<\/a>, especially those outside of your control, can also add to the challenge of managing your warehouse logistics. These types of setbacks are often inevitable and, therefore, unavoidable even with proper supply chain planning<\/a>. For example, extreme weather conditions may cause unexpected delays in inventory delivery. This means you\u2019ll experience some delays in inventory replenishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, when the inventory does arrive, you may have to deal with the backlog by assigning extra labour to handle inventory receiving and storage. This means you\u2019re diverting resources from other aspects of your warehousing operations, which can further disrupt your warehouse logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses need to improve their supply chain agility<\/a> to ensure that they can effectively handle any unexpected setbacks. Having real-time access to supply chain data and leveraging automation tools are some of the key ways to build a more agile supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for improved warehouse logistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how do you overcome these challenges and improve your warehouse logistics? Here are a few tips and ideas to get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cross-train employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To maintain a well-functioning warehouse logistics, you need to be able to complete different warehousing operations in the shortest amount of time possible without spending too much money. This is why it\u2019s important to ensure that your warehouse staff is equipped with the necessary skills to perform a wide variety of tasks so workforce allocation can be flexible and adjusted based on your current needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, let\u2019s say you need extra help in the receiving bay due to backlogged inventory deliveries. You should be able to allocate some of your team members from other departments to the receiving bay so they can speed up the process of receiving, scanning, and sorting your inventory. Cross-training is one of the best ways to improve vital warehouse KPIs<\/a> such as receiving efficiency, put-away cycle time, picking efficiency, and picking accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Maintain health and safety standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Accidents in the warehouse can significantly set your operations back, which will in turn affect your warehouse logistics. If there\u2019s some kind of damage to your equipment or to a part of your warehouse, for example, workers won\u2019t be able to move as efficiently to complete various tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or in some cases, if your workers get injured due to these accidents, it could leave you short-staffed and unable to continue with your regular warehousing operations. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to ensure that you maintain proper warehouse safety<\/a> standards that could prevent these accidents and damages from happening in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Automate operations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Automation can be a godsend for businesses that want to improve their warehouse logistics. You can leverage software and tools to automate various aspects of your warehousing operations, which will speed up your processes and enhance the flow of tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated fulfilment<\/a> is one of the most popular automation solutions that can be leveraged inside a warehouse. This would involve leveraging the right software to automatically process your orders and send them to your warehouse. You could also use various tools to automate<\/a> some aspects of your picking and packing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, some aspects of your shipping operations<\/a> can also be automated. You can use software to automatically compare the prices of different couriers, allowing you to narrow down the best option for the order. Plus, you can even automate the process of generating shipping labels and assigning them to packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Warehouse management system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a robust warehouse management system<\/a> is the key to improving your warehouse logistics. This system integrates with other essential warehouse technologies<\/a> and provides visibility across various departments. Workers will have access to the most updated information in real time, which will allow them to perform their tasks accurately and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, you can maintain accurate inventory counts as inventory data is recorded in real-time at various touchpoints. Since it automates some of your operations, it helps you save time by reducing the need for time-consuming manual tasks. Moreover, deploying basic elements of project management<\/a>, and a warehouse management system will improve the overall integration and execution of your operations and help you determine shipping times more accurately so you can look for the speediest shipping options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Consider using a 3PL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Working with a third-party logistics provider<\/a> is the fastest way to ensure optimal warehouse logistics for your ecommerce business. This would involve outsourcing most of the warehousing, inventory management, and fulfilment operations to the professionals. So you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about the complicated and time-consuming process of fixing or managing your own warehouse logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 3PL can store your inventory at its fulfilment centres, where professionals manage your inventory on your behalf. Moreover, these fulfilment centres will be in charge of other warehousing operations including receiving, picking, and packing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ShipBob has warehouse management software that improves warehouse operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take advantage of ShipBob\u2019s distributed fulfilment centres<\/a> to safely and strategically store your inventory, where a team of warehousing professionals will take over the process of managing your inventory on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
