Here’s how teamwork targets shipping blindspots to boost fulfillment.

Written by Heartland | Jul 12, 2022 3:00:00 PM

As warehousing and shipping demands increase, so do the costs of shipping orders and warehousing. To keep up with demands, businesses must effectively manage their inventory and shipping costs to streamline customer satisfaction and warehouse productivity. Studies show that shipping and warehousing prices are 25-50% higher than a year ago. If businesses do not find ways to optimize shipping costs and inventory, customers could grow unhappy, shipments could be missed, and debt increases.

Businesses are turning to just-in-time (JIT) inventory ordering as the solution to keep up with demands. JIT helps manage your inventory in which goods are received from suppliers only as they are needed. This method can significantly reduce downtime and boost productivity, however labor and material shortages make JIT hard since a stockout will affect the whole supply chain.
