Warehouse management

Warehouse management is an important component of a flexible and cost-efficient supply chain. It also has a direct impact on customer satisfaction. Warehouse costs take a considerable bite out of the budget but there are always a lot of opportunities for improvement. New techniques, methods and systems are constantly developed and appropriate change management will be needed to implement them. Not entirely convinced whether your warehouse is future-proof? Zelco can advise and support you in this!

Warehouse organisation is often underestimated. There are many concepts and solutions that we can implement but most of all we must tailor our warehouse operation to the real needs of the customer in a cost efficient way. Every warehouse is unique and the warehouse operation is constantly in search of the optimal balance not only between space and movement but also between customer service and operational cost. A nice challenge!. How do we put together the optimal organisational structure for the warehouse and how do we change the culture so that we can constantly be working in a state of the art operation? That is exactly where the strength of the Zelco team can be beneficial for your company. We organise for you all types of warehouses from very high tech automatic approaches to highly flexible conventional methods and optimal support of ICT and smart solutions.

A very important milestone can be the selection of a Third Party service provider. Not only the selection process must be handled carefully but most of all the optimal cooperation between the partners will be a key factor for a long term succes. Another important milestone can be the review of the operational procedures and the implementation of a warehouse management system (WMS) that suits better your warehouse flow. Specifically in the context of the emergence of new processes for turning warehouses from a B2B (business to business) into a B2C (business to consumer) environment and the creation of hybrid solutions combining the 2 approaches in one fluent operation a re-engineering of the warehouse needs comptent support.
