labour management

 

Labour Management

Transform your workforce into your business’ strongest asset. While labour can be one of the largest costs of operating a warehouse, there are also a number of opportunities to step up productivity and decrease costs by managing your workforce effectively.

We can implement software that stores a database of standards for key tasks, such as time to completion of a task. The system monitors employee performance and compares it to the benchmark, providing you with performance data that can be used to amplify strengths and eliminate problems within your workforce.

Productivity reports can be generated by supervisor, employee, warehouse or team for in-depth analysis. You will be able to give individual employees immediate feedback on their individual performance, calculate realistic targets and incentive structures, and align remuneration with productivity.

Employees can strive towards efficient, high-quality and safe workplace performance that is measurable, improving staff satisfaction, decreasing turnover and improving workplace safety standards. The data also allows you to determine whether workloads are balanced or should be adjusted and how this can be achieved across functional areas of the warehouse.

Slotting strategies can also be adjusted accordingly. Another aspect of labour management is planning and forecasting your labour requirements more efficiently.

Our forecasting tool uses historical data to plan your labour needs, from regular staffing to temporary labour required during seasonal fluctuations and busy periods. This cuts down on overtime hours and ensures that you have the required hands on deck to meet your business obligations at any time of year.


Slotting Optimisation

The stock in your warehouse is one of your business’ most significant investments, and managing it effectively is crucial for ongoing growth and success.

We want to help you improve pick productivity by up to 30% and reduce pick travel time by up to 60%.

Your warehouse’s physical layout and picking profile can be adjusted to save you money and increase productivity. We can help you to analyse whether your inventory is in the right place to save you time and money, help you to fill orders accurately and safely, and to optimise your storage space. Our optimisation system adapts as your business does and, based on new input data such as seasonal trends or the procurement of new products, continuously calculates the best position for your products to occupy in your warehouse. As your inventory changes, so does the optimal configuration of your warehouse, keeping you ahead of the curve.
