Efficiency while Maintaining Speed

In order to work more efficiently, you must reduce the work time for order preparation. This can be done in different ways.

Minimizing travel time between the various sites within your warehouse often leads to greater productivity.  For this to work and be implemented, information such as pick times, time to package and all other relevant data must be tracked.
