Retail software for warehouse management
If you’re working in a retail business that carries large or numerous products, you’ll probably have a lot of your inventory stored in an offsite warehouse. It’s a good way to keep a healthy stock of items for replenishing inventory at various locations, and it’s also a good way to store, prepare, and ship bulk orders. But managing these warehouses still falls under the duties of a retail manager, which means you will need tools and warehouse management solutions that help you monitor and maintain the organization and productivity of your offsite storage location(s). ChainDrive Retail Warehouse Management software handles everything from workforce productivity to layout management.
When you’ve got a warehouse with extensive square footage, it will quickly become apparent that you need to optimize your space. You want to be able to store as many products in your warehouse as you can, but you also need to ensure that workers have fast access to products they may need to prepare, pack, and/or ship. The Layout Management tool helps you get the most out of your space. It includes bin assignment and asset management to help you organize everything in just the right way. Proper warehouse layout means faster turnover rates and increased productivity. When you get more work done in your warehouse, it translates to faster sales in stores.
