Warehouse management software is an innovative tool that can bring any logistics operation up to the next level of productivity. WaveTrak has allowed companies like Whelen Engineering to completely overhaul their picking processes, reduce labor costs by nearly half, and boost their productivity by over 50%. In addition, product rotation and order accuracy have also improved noticeably.
- Minimize Employee Movement
By placing items closer together in vertical lifts with a tightly controlled inventory tracking system, employees at Whelen Engineering can minimize movement between picking items on a single order. Since employees are no longer traveling the length of the warehouse to fill orders, they are capable of picking 1500+ lines per day instead of 1200. - Improve Space Utilization
WaveTrak works hand in hand with vertical lift modules and conveyors by creating an easy-to-learn barcode system for both picking and putaway. This ensures that products are placed in the right location all the time and that first-in, first-out rotations are being maintained. In addition, Whelen's pickers are happy to report that there is less human error caused by items placed in the wrong bins, so accurate inventory levels are always maintained. - Fail-Safe Programs
WaveTrak's warehouse management software features intuitive menus and easy-to-learn inventory scanning and tracking procedures. Whelen Engineering reported seeing an immediate difference in the way their daily tasks flow thanks to WaveTrak. Additionally, there was very little downtime for training and learning because the system is made for users to pick up quickly and get back to work.
WaveTrak has given Whelen Engineering numerous ways to streamline their picking process, reduce labor and staffing, and boost output. This system fit seamlessly into the ongoing warehouse operation and created immediate results in productivity.
