LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING

Greater savings, service and reactivity

Supply chains are becoming larger and more complex, directly impacting manufacturers, distributors and logistics service providers. Expanding product lines and shortened product life cycles put a greater burden on logistics functions. Some of the challenges include the need to plan new product introductions and promotions at a much faster rate and to be able to manage unexpected events.

Yesterday’s solutions such as building spreadsheets or using manual approaches aren’t adequate in today’s challenging business environment. Many of the most successful companies rely on optimisation software for the most efficient logistics planning. Logistics optimisation tied into operational databases significantly improves key performance metrics and creates lasting corporate value.

Axios have many years experience in using scheduling software strategically (to make investment and improvement decisions with confidence) and operationally (to schedule logistics on a day to day basis to ensure maximum efficiency).

Warehousing

Experts estimate that 20% of all orders are fulfilled imperfectly. Thus, the ability to meet customer demand by getting the right products to the right place, at the right time, and in the right condition is an essential competency with bottom-line implications.

Good warehouse management enables you to see what inventory is or will be available, organise work and align resources and labour to satisfy customer requirements, and optimise fulfilment and distribution processes to ensure that products are delivered on time and in full, each and every time.

Axios warehouse management lets you:

• Reduce inventory 5 to 20%
• Increase labour productivity 15 to 40%
• Improve shipping accuracy 2 to 5%
• Increase inventory accuracy 99+% at location level
• Boost perfect order rates
• Reduce direct operating costs and increase overall revenue
