User-Friendly Provision WMS Checklist

Simplicity of Processes and Workflows

Receiving

Involves control over the delivery to your warehouse of the correct quantity of a desired product at the right time. This process can be broken up into smaller ones:

• Placing a purchase order
• Preparing space in the warehouse
• Uploading to WMS
• Verification
• Entering in database

Putaways

Delivering the goods to the optimal place in the warehouse and getting the goods to the most relevant spot is important. Storage conditions also matter to ensure the safety of the goods and employees.

Automated warehousing

Automate your warehouse management processes, including order fulfillment, inventory management, and shipment. Provision WMS can manage inventory locations, offer real-time stock-level insight, and generate reports to help make data-driven decisions.

Picking

This is the process of collecting goods from the storage location. It is the costliest, most time-consuming, and most error-prone action. Here, scanning devices that communicate with the WMS can save tons of time and reduce errors significantly. Provision WMS allows for cluster picking, zine picking, and wave picking.

Packing

Getting the order together and getting the products ready for shipment. At this point, it is necessary to have all the relevant data on the order and the type/amount of packing material required for the order.

Shipping

Sending goods to the customer and making sure they are delivered safely and on time. Her proper scheduling, labor management, and tracking are key to satisfying the customer.

Returns

WMS can help streamline this unpleasant process by automating every step by creating the return, recording the reason, updating stock, issuing refunds, and generating reports.

Time to Value

With the ease-of-use Provision WMS provides ramping up and capturing productivity gains happen in a shorter time, helping with achieving ROI.

Cost of Ownership

If you’re solely looking at the cost of implementing a WMS, then you are not seeing the full picture. Saving between 5% and 40% on inventory losses and saving 50% to 99% shrinkage when implementing a WMS. When you’re out of stock, potential customers must go elsewhere to fulfill their needs. Your WMS can send you alerts when stock is low, saving you money and credibility with your customer.
