How smart is your logistic supply chain?

The question itself can baffle most business owners as most of them believe as long as the job gets done, they are fine. However, if you consider the fact that many businesses are still using paper for sending information across or record purposes, the ideals seem to be misplaced. It is important to note that there is more to being smart than just not being old-fashioned. There are several goals to look at when getting started with Smart Automation in the supply chain.

Paperless: Pen and paper recording of goods moving through the logistics chain is still widely practised. As we strive to move up the value chain and with the presence of surprise elements in business like the pandemic, we need to be able to run the business as seamlessly as possible.

Smart automation of your supply chain can reduce the number of manual and menial tasks with high error factors. Automating your logistics data can ensure accuracy, easier tracking and not to forget digital storage which reduces the need for physical space allocation.

This effort also helps your company take the first steps to sustainability with lesser paper usage. Smart Warehousing can also help with protecting your documents from elements such as humidity or accidental damage by fire.

Inventory Management: Smart warehousing digitalises inventory management, making it easier to keep track of your stock levels with minimal human effort. Smart warehousing also allows you to optimize the space in your warehouse, making it easier for your business process planning. Inventory management can be even smarter by creating an independent record of your inventory. Order to delivery process can be managed via a smart management system.

Warehouse Management: Smart warehouse management paired with Smart Automation and Smart Inventory, makes processes such as restocking orders much faster than with traditional warehousing. Overall operational time and effort can be saved because of the integrated system that connects Smart Warehouse with Smart Inventory can help your people make real-time decisions on which Smart Warehousing cabinets to send Smart Inventory items from.

Last Mile Delivery: Smart Logistics helps you reduce the need for human labour by delivering information from Smart Inventory directly to Smart Automation and to Smart Logistics to initiate work processes seamlessly. Smart Logistic systems are able to make real-time decisions supported by Smart Inventory, Smart Warehousing and Smart Automation, to recognize which vehicle is the best suited/ available for the next delivery.

Delivery scheduling and assurances can be made with faster turnover times and more accurately with minimal disruptions.

Overall, getting started with Smart Automation will help your business reduce human error, reduce turnover time, reduce disruptions and increase efficiency.
