Warehouse operations
When you set up an online store, you face many challenges in managing your products and delivering them to your customers. One of the elements necessary for the smooth operation of your online store is warehouse management – an activity that is fundamental to the efficient running of the store.
What is warehouse management?
Warehouse Management is the complex process of managing and storing products in a warehouse. It involves not only the storage of goods, but also the management of their quantity, delivery, receipt, picking and dispatch to customers. In short, warehouse management is the central point in the supply chain that enables online shops to deliver products to customers on time and in perfect condition.
What are warehouse processes?
Warehouse processes are a set of operations and procedures aimed at effectively managing goods in the warehouse. They cover a range of activities from the moment goods arrive at the warehouse until they are shipped to the customer. These processes enable the efficient organisation, storage and distribution of goods in the warehouse. The basic elements of the warehouse processes are
1. Receiving
The receiving process is a step in the warehouse operation that includes unloading, sorting, identification, quality and quantity control, preparation of the goods for storage and transfer of the consignment to the storage area, and is the basis for the efficient functioning of the warehouse.
2. Storage
The correct arrangement of goods in the warehouse so that they are easily accessible and organised. This facilitates the efficient management of goods and maximises the use of storage space.
3. Order Picking
When a customer places an order in the web shop, the warehouse staff start to fulfil the order. This means finding all the products in the order, checking them for quality, packing them and preparing them for shipment.
4. Delivery
The activities involved in delivering the products to a specific recipient – once the parcels have been packed and checked, they are loaded for transport. And off to the customer!
