As we well know, the Distribution Center constitutes a fundamental link for the service of a company, since we can qualify it as the starting point of the shopping experience that customers receive.
It is a fact that, depending on the response times reached in the CEDIS or in the logistics node, it will be determined whether a client will continue his commercial relationship with the company. Given this, optimizing the order assortment system is a key decision to consolidate continuous improvement in delivery times and, therefore, in the customer experience.
But what to do when faced with an increase in the volume and / or complexity of our assortment of orders?
When these situations occur, the first thing we must do is verify that the appropriate technological infrastructure is in place to avoid factors that reduce the response time of the logistics node, such as:
- Picking errors
- Unknown locations of the merchandise
- Lack of space in the warehouse
- Non-optimal layouts
Some of the most recommended solutions to optimize the assortment of orders, guaranteeing the maximum level of agility and accuracy, are automatic storage systems and picking technologies.
Both technologies controlled by an intelligent WMS / WCS / WES software suite will allow you to improve the response times of your CEDIS, reducing the error rate and increasing productivity and control of the assortment of orders.
