Storage space is in short supply due to the fallout from the pandemic, but many companies are finding solutions in their warehouse management systems.
Another way companies can leverage a WMS to more fully utilize precious warehouse space is to maintain the inventory used for both e-commerce and store replenishment orders under a single roof. By leveraging the ability to manage goods for multiple channels in a single pool, an intelligent WMS can create “opportunistic” workflows, such as assigning multiple tasks to a warehouse worker in a particular row or aisle of the DC. In the old world, retail and e-commerce [operations] were in different buildings, sometimes even with different [enterprise resource planning] systems. But now it’s [all in] one building, [with] one software. That allows you to understand who’s busy in the warehouse, where space is available, what’s the most intelligent way to get all the goods out on time, and keep that demanding customer at their keyboard happy.” Together, those improvements can lead to more efficient use of space.
