Cost-effective Shipping Systems Facilitate Last Mile Logistics
A successful order fulfilment process requires a balance between hiring, training and retention of workers while also getting orders out the door quickly, accurately and in good condition. If the last mile of your supply chain is reliant on labour-intensive, repetitive tasks, both fulfilment efficiency and employee retention are at risk.
Drive unpredictability out of the last mile by incorporating automation into your outbound processes. Dematic shipping systems create the efficiencies needed from picking orders, to dock delivery, down to trailer loading and transportation.
By automating the outbound processes of your supply chain, you reduce dependency on labour availability and significantly decrease costs associated with manual processes. Dematic software provides real-time visibility, intelligently route inventory for efficient retrieval and directs material to the most optimal shipping locations.
Shipping units (cases, totes, bags, or pallets) are conveyed, sorted and sequenced to their designated staging/loading locations. This process requires limited physical labour as fully automated processes track and trace material throughout the operation.
Each order is scanned as it is loaded to ensure accuracy and provide tracking. With Dematic shipping systems, the right products are always on the right load, at the right door and in the right sequence.
Confirmed systematically, orders are scanned out of the system, thus allowing for virtual data movement from point A to point B.
