Maintaining stock levels is quite uneasy task many businesses face on a daily basis, and this task is compounded when the inventory is in more than one warehouse.
Why multi-warehouse operation
When a business targets a dynamically growing market, using the space of one warehouse is not enough and shipping the items from a single warehouse may cause shipping delays for customers. Moreover, the availability of multiple warehouses can reduce transportation costs.
The challenges of multi-warehouse approach
Although a multi-warehouse strategy has its advantages, it can also provide some serious challenges. First of all, it’s increased responsibility and control. Also, businesses with multiple warehouses often run into communication issues. Lack of face-to-face interactions and timely data can cause delays and other issues. The presence of multiple warehouses is an increased volume of documentation that must be properly organized and accessible.
The advantages of mobile warehouse management apps
