About You

As a logistics and warehouse professional you may see the need to improve your warehouse operation. Productivity could be higher, lead times shorter, stock take easier, delivery errors fewer. You may have specifically developed warehouse management software that has been in place for years. You may be using the WMS module of your ERP system, which is no longer able to cope with today’s Supply Chain demands. You may have heavily customised WMS that was configured to meet the demands of your customers, products and order profiles years ago. These types of WMS systems bring their own set of problems. They use outdated and old fashioned methods to run the warehouse, they generally require higher staffing levels to complete the warehouse operation and normally the system has a continuing inability to cope with today’s highly pressured Supply Chain Execution demands. As a result your business could be suffering from batch control and traceability problems, stock putaway and pick issues, service level agreement failure, warehouse throughput issues, overstocking, and lack of data visibility.

The benefits of operating a new cost effective and efficient warehouse are many. Improvements can be made in put-away rates, pick inaccuracies, pick rates, stock levels, stock visibility, warehouse space, staffing levels, warehouse reporting, delivery lead times, delivery errors.

Many of our clients often testify to the improvements the PROTEUS® Warehouse Management Solution has made to their supply chain operation, and of cost savings made as a result.

We welcome the opportunity of discussing your supply chain operation, working closely with you to understand your business processes, and to advise, inform and implement warehouse management solutions that allow the smooth operation of your warehouse.
