When I was driving through I-5, I saw countless signs of office buildings sitting empty, available for lease. As more and more white-collar employees have been working remotely, the need for a physical office building has also been dwindling.
Even though the demand for commercial office spaces are on a down-turn, the demand for warehouse buildings are sky-rocketing.
The growth of e-commerce businesses and advanced logistical services are contributing to an unprecedented need of warehousing and distribution centers.
Let's look at 5 ways to optimize your warehousing and logistics business.
Customers have adopted the habit of shopping conveniently from their homes. Online sales have grown exponentially due to how convenient it is to shop online. With smart phones getting smarter and smarter everyday, both business owners and customers are finding digital shopping an integral part of their business.
Which means to fulfill these on-line orders, businesses need to have warehouse and distribution centers that are equipped with web-based order fulfilling and tracking software.
Effective inventory management, order fulfillment, and last-mile delivery are now essential for businesses to remain competitive.
The heart of e-commerce activities is fulfillment centers. Fulfillment centers with substantial storage facilities are located near populated regions to ensure prompt delivery. Getting these facilities to be automated for maximum efficiency is very critical.
The last-mile delivery, which is the journey from the distribution center to the customer's door, has become a crucial concern for companies. Customers demand practical choices like same-day or next-day delivery. Last-Mile delivery logistics need to be optimized for speed and economy.
Using an efficient software where the drivers can be dispatched and routed for optimal deliveries will have huge benefits to you and your customers.
Distribution centers work with their shipper customers to deliver products to their consignees. The process of sending invoices with proof of delivery from their consignees is a standard process. Yet in many cases, this process is done manually. The drivers sending hand written delivery notes, and signatures to the warehouse, and attaching those documents to the invoices to the billing department of the shipper to process payments.
In many cases the payment is collected (Cash on Delivery) from the consignee through the last mile driver, to further complicate the situation.
Implementing a robust software with driver friendly app and interfaces play a critical role on invoicing and payment processing.
Warehousing and Transportation Industry has been growing a lot over the last several decades. However when compared to the overall growth in digital shopping, it's lagging behind in customer experience.
The soaring demand for warehousing and distribution facilities is evidence of the commercial real estate market's flexibility and ability to change to meet the needs of the digital era.
Today, the warehouses and distributions centers play a crucial role in customer happiness. In the past people rarely saw warehouses within city limits, now they are all too common to find warehouses and fulfillment centers on your route to home.
