Improves order fulfilment accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your warehouse is not well-planned and managed, it will cause delays and issues during the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/order-fulfillment\/\">order fulfilment<\/a>&nbsp;process. Most issues with orders stem from disorganized inventory, poor picking and packing processes, and a lack of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/stock-control\/\">stock control<\/a>&nbsp;in your warehouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By implementing better&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/warehouse-management\/\">warehouse management<\/a>&nbsp;processes and technology, you can greatly improve&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/order-accuracy\/\">order accuracy<\/a>and&nbsp;fulfil orders more quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Boosts warehouse productivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When warehouse inventory is stored and recorded properly and manual daily tasks are automated, it gives your staff the time and mental bandwidth to focus on more strategic tasks, such as logistics expansion and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thinking through ways you can help your staff become more efficient will not only save on labour costs, but it will also help you get orders out the door faster and more accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Faster shipping and deliveries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How you manage your inventory in a warehouse can also impact shipping speed. There are severals way to optimise&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/warehousing\/\">warehousing<\/a>&nbsp;processes to speed up&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/how-last-mile-delivery-works\/\">last-mile delivery<\/a>, from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/automated-order-processing\/\">automating order processing<\/a>&nbsp;to expanding your distribution network by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/split-inventory-across-multiple-fulfillment-centers\/\">splitting inventory<\/a>&nbsp;across multiple fulfilment centres.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many DTC brands choose to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/automated-shipping\/\">automate shipping<\/a>&nbsp;by implementing tools that can help speed up the shipping process, such as automatically updating stock levels and pushing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/ecommerce-order-tracking\/\">ecommerce order tracking<\/a>&nbsp;to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding ways to automate the shipping process enables you to increase output, so you can easily manage a larger volume of orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Saves you money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper warehouse inventory management can save you money, including labour, storage, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/ecommerce-fulfillment\/fulfillment-costs\/\"><span class=\"s1\">fulfilment costs<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optimising storage, investing in warehouse automation, organising inventory to speed up the picking and packing process, and implementing technology to automate tasks and reduce human error are just a few of the ways you can improve your bottom line by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/supply-chain-optimization\/\"><span class=\"s1\">optimising your supply chain<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it\u2019s worth noting that renting a warehouse comes with a cost. In fact, most logistics warehouse tenants are expecting a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightwaves.com\/news\/logistics-warehouse-tenants-should-brace-for-10-rate-hikes-cbre\"><span class=\"s1\">10% rate hike<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;starting in 2021. That\u2019s why more and more online brands are choosing to outsource warehousing to save on not only time but money, so they improve supply chain and profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Increases customer satisfaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warehouse that performs well is one that delivers customer orders accurately and on time. By making warehouse inventory management a priority,&nbsp;you ultimately improve customer satisfaction through faster shipping times,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/ecommerce-shipping\/reduce-shipping-costs\/\">reduced shipping costs<\/a>, and higher order accuracy rate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"5\">Additionally, if there is an issue with an order or a customer has to make a return or exchange, proper warehouse processes and inventory management can also improve the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/returns-management-process\/\">returns management<\/a>&nbsp;process, so you can quickly process returns and restock items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 warehouse inventory management processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When done right, warehouse inventory management can help keep your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/retail-supply-chain\/\">retail supply chain<\/a>&nbsp;moving, from receiving inventory efficiently to fulfilling and shipping orders out quickly. Here are five warehouse inventory management processes that are worth implementing:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Warehouse layout optimisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optimising your warehouse space is the first thing to consider when managing a warehouse. How will you organise inventory to make the picking and packing process more efficient while saving on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/inventory-carrying-costs\/\">inventory carrying costs<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To optimise your warehouse layout, the first step is to assess the current warehouse layout and determine if it suits your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/order-fulfillment\/\">order fulfilment<\/a>&nbsp;process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/warehouse-management\/warehouse-optimization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">warehouse optimisation<\/a> practice is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/warehouse-management\/warehouse-slotting\/\">warehouse slotting<\/a>, which helps to simplify the picking and packaging stages by storing inventory based on what makes the sense of the picker (such as storing frequently ordered products by one another, or making the best use of space by product type, size, weight, and location). Not only does this process optimise space but it also improves productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking the time to optimise your warehouse means you can delay expanding and spending more money on space than you actually need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Warehouse inventory control tracking and recording<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing inventory is one of the most important parts of running an ecommerce business. The best way to better&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/stock-control\/\">control stock<\/a>&nbsp;is to invest in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-management\/software\/\">inventory management software<\/a>&nbsp;and other tools designed to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automate the order picking process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-management\/inventory-tracking\/\">Track inventory<\/a>&nbsp;in real-time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-management\/inventory-forecasting\/\">Forecast inventory<\/a>&nbsp;demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/inventory-report\/\">inventory reports<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/inventory-levels\/\">Optimise inventory levels<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And much more.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To track inventory, you need both reliable&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/warehouse-operations\/inventory-storage\/\">inventory storage system<\/a>&nbsp;and inventory software to assist with these types of tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re doing the self-storage route or renting a warehouse, you can find software or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/best-inventory-apps\/\">inventory apps<\/a>&nbsp;that manage and track your inventory easily, as well as reduce the time needed to conduct ongoing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/inventory-audit\/\">inventory audits<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/warehouse-audit\/\">warehouse audits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larger, more established brands usually invest in an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/erp-inventory\/\">ERP inventory<\/a>&nbsp;system with all the bells and whistles.&nbsp;However, many 3PLs offer the necessary inventory management tools as part of their warehousing and fulfilment service, like ShipBob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Picking and packing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The picking and packing process should be optimised as much as possible to help support your picking and packing team and reduce human error. For instance, you could create a \u201cgolden zone\u201d for your fastest-moving&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/high-demand-products\/\">high-demand products<\/a>&nbsp;(i.e., the most accessible location of the warehouse).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another common warehouse practice is known as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/batch-picking\/\">batch picking<\/a>, a&nbsp;process that consists of collecting inventory for identical orders at once, rather than picking items one order at a time or picking orders with different SKUs, so the picker is able to reduce the number of trips to the same location(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you self-fufill orders, then you know it can be time-consuming process, not to mention there are several&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/hidden-costs-self-fulfillment-beyond-shipping-postage\/\">hidden costs<\/a>&nbsp;associated with self fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some online brands choose the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/ecommerce-fulfillment\/dropshipping\/\">dropshipping<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/blind-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blindshipping<\/a>&nbsp;methods instead, which consists of having the manufacturer take care of shipping. Dropshipping also eliminates the need for the merchant to manage a warehouse or inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are a lot of downsides to dropshipping, including a lack of quality control, visibility into&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/logistics-operations\/\">logistics operations<\/a>,&nbsp;and the inability to enhance the customer experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why most ecommerce businesses turn to a reliable 3PL partner like ShipBob to take care of fulfilment and shipping for them. Many 3PLs also offer distributed inventory due to their expansive fulfilment network, negotiated shipping rates from major couriers, and the ability to track orders all from one dashboard.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reporting and optimising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investing in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/warehouse-management\/warehouse-management-system-wms\/\">warehouse management system (WMS)<\/a>&nbsp;can help you determine operational performance and offer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/inventory-report\/\">inventory reports<\/a>&nbsp;across the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may include fulfilment performance in fulfilling orders (total mis-picks, mis-packs, etc.), total orders fulfilled by the hour to measure efficiency of staff, orders shipped on time, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A WMS can also help you with people operations by determining how many orders you plan to fulfil month over month and staff accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"4\">Having visibility into the day-to-day operations and access to inventory insights can help you make informed decision on how to better manage and optimise your warehouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 warehouse inventory management best practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you implement basic warehouse inventory management processes, you can then find ways to continuously improve your operations. Here are four best practices that can help create a more efficient warehouse:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Turn your employees into experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By implementing ways to automate and streamline warehouse tasks, your team can spend more time finding ways to improve processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your warehouse is only as efficient as the people who manage and work inside it. Be sure to leverage your team and ask for feedback on how to improve consistency, efficiency, and accuracy. The best ideas often come from those who are on the front lines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you lack a logistics team to begin with, many ecommerce businesses partner with 3PL that offer expertise in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/ecommerce-warehousing\/\">ecommerce warehousing<\/a>, which relieves a lot of headaches for their logistics team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp; Use demand forecasting for busy seasons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your sales fluctuate seasonally or month-to-month, storage costs may become costly during the low season. A great way to optimise costs despite seasonality is by using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/demand-forecasting\/\">demand forecasting<\/a>&nbsp;tools to get answers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How quickly products are selling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which items are slow-moving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many days of inventory you have until you are expected to run out (based on SKU velocity)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How your sales are affected by different seasons and months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What your best-selling items are and how they are performing compared to other periods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of data can help you better predict seasonality, so you can stock on inventory accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Automate warehouse inventory systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-automation\/\">automating inventory<\/a>&nbsp;and warehousing tasks and processes, you can quickly reduce the amount of time spent on managing inventory and picking and packing orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/logistics-automation\/\">logistics automation<\/a>&nbsp;solutions offer features that allow you to process orders automatically, create and manage inventory in real time, automatically update stock levels, offer the ability to set automatic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/reorder-point-formula\/\">reorder points<\/a>, and much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means your staff can avoid wasting time on mundane manual tasks and focus their efforts on speeding up the fulfilment process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need a WMS?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ShipBob has a best-in-class warehouse management system (WMS) for brands that have their own warehouse and need help managing inventory in real time, reducing picking, packing, and shipping errors, and scaling with ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/product\/wms\/\">ShipBob&#8217;s WMS<\/a>, brands can even leverage ShipBob&#8217;s fulfilment services in any of ShipBob&#8217;s fulfilment centres across the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia to improve cross-border shipping, reduce costs, and speed up deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/quote-plus\/\">Request WMS pricing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Implement warehouse inventory control checks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you grow your business, you will start to deal with more&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/how-to-find-sku-number\/\">SKUs<\/a>&nbsp;going in and out of warehouses. To make sure these stock items are not expired, old, or damaged, it\u2019s important to conduct regular&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/inventory-management\/inventory-control\/\">inventory control<\/a>&nbsp;checks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"find\">Order quality control helps you stay on top of suppliers, monitor each batch of inventory, and ultimately keep your customers happy by consistently delivering a quality product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shipbob\">How ShipBob helps ecommerce stores with warehouse inventory management system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As your business grows, logistics become more complex.
