Efficiency in a warehouse environment is all about maximising productivity while saving time and money. Whether you have a multi-channel warehouse or a smaller venture, one of the most expensive activities for any warehousing operation is the coming and going of product. Improving the efficiency of the goods-in process can help to reduce overall costs.

Weight data plays a valuable role in achieving goods-in efficiency, providing a reliable and efficient means of verifying that goods received are accurately declared. Selecting the right solution can provide your business with an accurate way to keep track of incoming inventory.

By simplifying process and reducing the number of times incoming goods are ‘touched’ by staff, or cross the warehouse floor, operations can be made more efficient.  

Robust and reliable scales convert forklift and pallet trucks into mobile weighing systems which can capture weight and storage data as part of the goods inwards transfer process.  This timesaving solution cuts out unnecessary steps and provides real–time data, which can be transmitted to back office or warehouse management systems for billing and inventory management. 

As well as tracking inventory for larger loads or pallets, high accuracy counting scales can verify quantities of goods received. 

One of the best ways to measure productivity in the warehousing environment is to measure process improvement. By gathering and analysing real-time weight data, warehouse managers can identify potential areas for improvement. 

We put the right systems in place to verify weight and count quickly and accurately, without slowing your operation down. 

Verifying the accuracy of goods received is essential to ensuring accurate stock management and the availability of goods for onward dispatch/use. 

Overstocks can be extremely costly and can have a direct impact on your bottom line, tying up working capital and potentially affecting profitability, especially if working with perishable items. Conversely, stockouts can result in backorders, lost sales or dissatisfied customers. 

By integrating weighing solutions with your back office or warehouse management system, you can keep better track of inventory, reducing the likelihood of costly inventory control issues. 

Our weighing systems and software are not only highly accurate but designed to integrate into your existing goods in processes and systems– providing efficient checks of weight and numbers received.
