WCS (Worldwide Chain Stores)
If you have a warehouse or distribution centre, your biggest challenge is likely to be filling more orders, faster - without compromising on accuracy or efficiency. It’s impossible to do this manually – and legacy warehouse management systems were designed mainly for large pallet orders, not the high volumes of small orders modern eCommerce demand. An outdated WMS limits your productivity, scalability, and growth. To stay on top of changing customer requirements and increasing order volumes, you need a technology platform that can address key areas: ➡️ Inventory Management: Effectively track and manage inventory to optimise stock levels and prevent stockouts or overstocks. ➡️ Workforce Management: Empower your workforce with tools and insights to improve productivity, streamline operations, and ensure efficient labour utilisation. ➡️ Warehouse Space Optimisation: Optimise the utilisation of available warehouse space to maximise storage capacity and improve operational efficiency. At WCS, we have a deep understanding of the technology required to address these key areas. In fact, we have a rich history of innovation in warehouse management. Our founder, Charlie Fitzmorris, was a visionary in integrating electronics into grocery retail and pioneering warehouse management software. We’ve since built on his legacy to create CSnx, our supply chain management platform designed for today’s complex logistics needs. It offers easy-to-use, flexible and scalable out-of-the-box capability to automate, diagnose and seamlessly manage your supply chain - from warehouse management to labour management. We’ve seen clients achieve results like this: ➡️ 15% - 30% improvement in labour efficiency ➡️ 10% to 40% improvement in operational costs efficiency ➡️ 99.9% inventory accuracy Does your current WMS stack up? Your products are your competitive advantage. How you deliver them is ours.
