The holiday shopping season is underway, and businesses across the country are ramping up their efforts to prepare for the rush in customer demand. This means warehouse managers need to be at the top of their game in tracking inventory. Organization is key, and storage bins can help keep different sized inventory in order and easily stackable. If you properly label each bin, you’ll be able to find the item quickly and fulfill the order efficiently.
According to Business 2 Community, without the proper organization in place, it doesn’t matter how much a manager has prepared the sales forecast, they won’t be able to meet demand as efficiently, which could cut down on sales. Additionally, if you’re unable to find items and properly fulfill orders, you’ll lose out on potential purchases.
Analysts are predicting a lot of sales will come from online. With e-commerce more popular than ever, companies have to organize their warehouse in a way that fulfills both brick-and-mortar and online sales. According to ABC News, about 17 percent of all online shopping is done online, and people are choosing to spend a lot. The news provider reports Cyber Monday sales are expected to hit $3.5 billion this year, up from $3.12 billion last year.
