Today’s warehouses encounter several common challenges, such as meeting customer demands for faster delivery times and perfect order accuracy, managing increasing return rates, recruiting and retaining skilled workers, handling seasonal fluctuations in order volume, navigating a complex and evolving regulatory environment and adapting to process changes and managing transitions effectively. Additionally, challenges can vary depending on warehouse size and sector.
Smaller to midsized warehouses often rely on basic warehouse management software, which may involve manual and paperbased processes. They frequently face issues like limited inventory visibility and solutions that lack scalability to support growth and changing business models. Integration difficulties between the WMS and existing ERP systems can also hinder process automation.
Organizations with large, highly automated warehouses or distribution centers require customizable WMS solutions tailored to their specialized supply chain processes. These solutions must offer precise visibility into complex inventories with numerous SKUs and seamlessly integrate with the existing IT infrastructure, regardless of its complexity. Achieving high throughput rates with consistent accuracy is another common challenge, along with integrating a diverse range of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) to maintain a high level of automation.
3PLs and logistics service providers, regardless of size, must manage multiple clients within a single system. New clients expect swift onboarding, with their unique business processes accurately set up. 3PLs also face the challenge of standardizing processes across clients to minimize costs and ensure precise tracking and billing of all services to avoid revenue loss.
