Warehouse Management Systems Can Help Manufacturers Avoid Rush Orders From Supply Chain

Anyone in manufacturing can attest, the supply chain can leave you at their mercy at times. Dependency on a supply chain to deliver materials is a very real situation for many manufacturers. That dependency can be affected from anything from severe weather to individual supplier issues.

While it's impossible to eliminate all of the risks within a supply chain, you can help your operations by keeping accurate inventory counts and avoiding relying on suppliers for rush material orders. Warehouse distribution systems, such as O2 Mobile Warehouse, can give you real-time inventory information with the ease of a barcode scan.

You can even take your warehouse management software to the next level by utilizing an inventory cycle count module.  O2 Cycle Count will statistically calculate a daily list of material to count based on confidence levels.  The results are automatically documented in your ERP software system, which provides an easy and extremely effective way to minimize inventory variances without the need for a year-end physical inventory count.

Warehouse distribution software allows you to stay on top of your inventory requirements and avoid rush material orders, or costly over stocking of material.  For more information on the O2 Mobile Warehouse inventory management software system, visit www.evs-sw.com.
