When the bearing brakes

In fact, everything in the warehouse should run smoothly. The goods arrive, are booked quickly, stored cleanly, picked efficiently and shipped on time. In practice, things often look different: Slow processes slow down productivity.

Arrival of the goods — and then?

Many warehouses lose valuable time as soon as they receive the goods. The delivered items are on the ramp, but the recording is dragging on. Delivery notes are checked manually, item numbers are typed in, and missing quantities are written down by hand. It is often hours before the goods are completely in the system.

Storage and relocation also costs nerves

After the goods have been received, it continues — or rather: it stalls. Employees search for free storage spaces, document everything manually or in cumbersome Excel lists. If an item is needed later, the search starts from the beginning. If you don't know exactly where what is, you lose time. And time is missing everywhere.

Commissioning? Takes time. Dispatch? Delayed.

Order pickers often work with paper lists. Each position is checked off manually. Errors go unnoticed, distances in the warehouse are unnecessarily long, articles are mixed up. Dispatch is waiting — and so is the customer. In the end, not only does warehouse efficiency suffer, but also customer satisfaction.

The problems are known and widespread

Delays, search times, double registrations. Many companies know these hurdles from everyday life. Everything often depends on a few key people who “know how the shop runs.” If someone fails, nothing works anymore. The warehouse processes look like a permanent construction site, even though they should actually be the backbone of the company.

The solution: Digitize processes and record them on the go

If you want to be faster, you need reliable data. And right where they are created. This is exactly where etiscan comes in. With mobile data collection, warehouse processes can be digitally mapped from incoming goods to shipping.

Employees scan items directly on site. The data flows into the system in real time. No slips of paper, no searching, no guesswork.

This is what it looks like in practice:

• Record incoming goods in seconds: Scan the item, check the data, and you're done. No more manual entry.

• Identify storage locations immediately: The software suggests vacant spaces and inventory movements can be traced at any time.

• Commissioning becomes a matter of course: Employees receive clear instructions on the handheld scanner — item, quantity, route. Mistakes are avoided, time is saved.

• Dispatch runs smoothly: orders are complete and correct. The customer receives what they have ordered on time.

Conclusion: When the warehouse runs smoothly, the entire operation runs better

Slow warehouse processes cost time, nerves and money. Even worse: They shake up day-to-day business. But that doesn't have to be the case. With the right digital solution, typical bottlenecks can be resolved and the entire material flow becomes noticeably more efficient.

etiscan makes warehouse work faster, safer and more transparent. So that your employees can get involved and your customers remain satisfied.
