How Public Warehousing Reduces Inventory Errors

In most business models, the main component that links a business to its customers is inventory. It’s what the business is noted for and, more importantly, what makes money for the business. Needless to say, there’s very little room for errors with inventory if you want your business to run efficiently. Inventory errors are not only costly, they can put a glitch in your entire supply chain process. It’s not unrealistic to say that a business makes it or breaks it based on its inventory processes.

Public Warehouses Optimize Inventory Processes

There’s a lot of action going on within the inventory process, like receiving inventory, storing it, labeling and packing per specifications, pulling inventory for order fulfillment, issuing inventory for orders, shipping the inventory to the end customer, tracking the goods during the various distribution stages and maintaining records of all activities. All these steps must work properly to prevent costly inventory errors. But it’s not an easy task, especially for businesses that handle their warehousing and distribution in-house and have to spread out their resources across many areas.

At Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services, we specialize solely in warehousing, distribution and related services, so we’re able to focus all our resources in this area and provide our services to you at an affordable cost (in most cases, using a public warehouse is less costly than handling warehousing, distribution and logistics in-house). We put a major emphasis on efficiency and accuracy, both in our technologically advanced computer equipment and programs and our highly trained staff, to ensure all goods coming in and going out of our public warehouse do so correctly.

Our computerized warehouse management system (WHS) features barcoding applications for fast and accurate inventory control and tracking. Complementing our WHS is our highly automated, fully adaptable shipping and routing computer and gravity conveyor system that ensures error-free order fulfillment and order picking as your orders are prepared for shipment.

With Brendamour’s optimized inventory processes, single shipment or continuous movement of your goods are performed with little risk of errors.

5 Ways Brendamour Warehousing Eliminates Inventory Errors

With Brendamour, you can have high productivity without compromising accuracy. We stress a holistic approach to inventory planning and inventory management, so you only spend on replenishment as the stock lead times dictate to avoid carrying high costs of inventory. Our inventory planning and management approach also features these five elements:

- *Inventory checks:* When your stock arrives at our warehouse, we ensure its count and condition through multiple redundancy checks. This ensures the merchandise we receive is correct from the get-go to prevent delays in the rest of the supply chain process.
- *Optimized warehouse layout:* Our facilities are organized to reduce time and effort in searching for inventory. A pre-optimized layout for your inventory ensures accurate order fulfillment.
- *Highly advanced automation:* We invest in the latest automation, including advanced warehousing management software, robotic picking and carousels, to heighten inventory accuracy.
- *Regular spot checks:* We have the capability to conduct regular spot checks of your inventory to identify any problems before goods are sent out to the end customer.
- *Inventory tracking:* We monitor the goods as they move in and out of inventory and reconcile inventory balances to determine and control stock levels. Our computer software also analyzes inventory forecasting, identifying peak ordering seasons for your business.

Our ultimate goal is to help your business manage inventory more cost effectively to improve cash flow and enable growth while enhancing customer service levels. At Brendamour Warehousing, we have a solution to any inventory challenge.
