Reduce the Time it Takes to Fulfill Orders Without Losing Accuracy

The pandemic has led to enormous growth for e-commerce since 2020, and warehouses and fulfillment centers need more labor than ever to ensure customers get the right order—and that they get it on time. Unfortunately, the labor shortage has forced many third-party logistics warehouses (3PLs) to find new ways to cut down on the time it takes to fulfill an order without losing accuracy in the process. Though it may be tempting to approach the problem with expensive and sometimes complicated automation integrations, not every move toward efficiency requires a move toward automation. Our CEO, Steve Shaheen, talks about labor-centered ways to meet key performance improvement management (PIM) metrics without sacrificing quality and customer satisfaction in a recent Supply Chain Brain article, Four Ways to Boost Warehouse Productivity That Aren't Automation.
