There’s no doubt that having warehouse storage improves business storage operations. From choosing the right picking methods in a warehouse to deciding how to store your goods, the way you organise your space can make all the difference when it comes to efficiency and getting your products out the door quickly. Let’s dive into how you can make warehouse storage work better for you and how Lesters Logistics can help.
Picking Methods in a Warehouse
Picking is how you get the right products into the hands of your customers – and the method you choose can speed things up (or slow them down).
Here’s a quick overview of our approach to our picking methods:
- Effective picking for Efficiency: We use carefully planned storage and distribution systems that maximise space and improve accessibility, making it easier for our team to pick your products quickly. This allows for quicker turnaround times, meaning faster deliveries to your customers.
- Accurate Stock Management: With Lesters Logistics, you can trust that your stock is managed correctly. Our warehouse management system ensures that stock is organised and easy to access, which reduces the chance of picking errors and ensures that only the right products are shipped out.
- Bespoke Solutions: Our experienced team works with you to create a customised plan that maximises your storage space and optimises the picking process.
- Pick-and-Pack Integration: To further streamline the process, our pick-and-pack services ensure that as soon as products are picked, they are immediately packed and ready for shipment. This integrated approach reduces handling times and helps to maintain accuracy across your order fulfilment process.
At Lesters Logistics, we tailor our warehouse picking methods to make sure your business runs efficiently, your stock is well-managed, and your customers receive their orders on time.
How to Manage Warehouse Storage Effectively
Here are some tips on how to manage warehouse storage effectively:
- Use a Warehouse Management System (WMS): A WMS is your best friend when it comes to managing and tracking stock. With real-time updates and detailed reporting, it’s like having a personal assistant for your warehouse.
- Lean practices: By streamlining your processes and keeping only what you need, you can maximise space and reduce waste. It’s all about working smarter, not harder.
- Improve the layout of your warehouse: Put the most popular products closer to your picking area. A well-thought-out warehouse layout reduces travel time and increases efficiency.
- Clear labelling and organisation: No more searching for that one missing item! Using barcode scanners and a clear labelling system will help your team find exactly what they need straight away.
- Regular audits: Keep things fresh with regular inventory checks. This ensures your stock is always up to date and helps avoid any unpleasant surprises down the line.
