5 typical IT challenges that hamper growth in companies

In the warehouse, goods must be received, stored, picked, dispatched and delivered faster than ever before. At the same time, costs must be kept down and inventory must be adjusted to the order flow.

With big seasonal fluctuations on days like Black Friday, up to Christmas and other busy periods, it’s not always easy to keep your tongue straight in your mouth.

A good and safe working environment for employees must be maintained. Technological investments are of course part of the development and efficiency of a warehouse, but it must also pay off.

Below you can see 5 of the most typical challenges and solutions that we experience with our customers.

1. REPLACE THE PAPER WITH A DIGITAL STORAGE SOLUTION

We often see that companies have heavy and slow work processes in the warehouse or in the store, which can be significantly streamlined by replacing manual paper-based solutions. With a complete cloud-based handheld terminal solution, you can create traceability, increased control in the logistics chain and streamline everyday life in the company

2. GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES BETTER OPPORTUNITIES TO BE MORE EFFICIENT

By focusing on important work processes, one can free up time. In Skoringen, the shops and buyers can pre-order goods quickly and efficiently using a mobile PDA. Here, the stores can order more than 25,000 items and see the number of stock, so they do not have to leave the store and the customer. It saves time and makes employees more productive on the floor.

3. DIGITIZE YOUR ENTIRE PRODUCTION FLOW AND GET AN OVERVIEW

Kathrine Andersen Chokolade has digitized the entire process from purchasing raw materials, consumption of goods, production and packaging. They can control all processes right down to the personal level via tablets, where they can also control tasks. Digitization has made their processes visible and given employees the necessary overview.

4. MASSIVE GOODS FLOW REQUIRES STRONG PROCESSES

More and more consumers today shop online, making e-commerce a massive growth area in retail. The increasing online consumption is also something you notice at the e-commerce company SkatePro. More companies need more storage space and are implementing warehousing solutions that can ensure efficient item registration and shipping.

5. CREATE INTERACTION BETWEEN ONLINE AND OFFLINE CHANNELS

At the internet-based knitting and crochet shop, Hobbii.dk, customers are present both online and offline. For Hobbii, it is therefore important to be able to help customers by using different digital initiatives that create an interplay between the two worlds. At the same time, it must be possible to help and dispatch customers quickly.
