Today’s customers expect to receive their orders as quickly and accurately as possible, while receiving the highest level of customer service. Consequently, order fulfillment has become more than simply receiving an order and shipping it out to the customer.
As order fulfillment becomes more complex, the burden falls on manufacturers and distributors to meet customer demand in a shorter amount of time. In addition to facing pressure from the customer, these companies struggle with a number of other challenges that create inefficiencies throughout the order fulfillment process, including limited space, unreliable transportation, and lack of communication.
Discover how a warehouse execution system (WES) can address order fulfillment challenges in the warehouse and allow users to maximize the benefits of automated systems while increasing inventory accuracy and reducing labor costs.
