We understand the significance of implementing the FIFO method in inventory management and its benefits for our clients:
Minimising Product Expiry: For businesses dealing with perishable or time-sensitive products, FIFO ensures that older items are dispatched first, significantly reducing the risk of products expiring on the shelves.
Preventing Obsolescence: In industries where products undergo frequent updates or newer versions are released, FIFO helps avoid inventory becoming obsolete, mitigating the risk of unsellable stock.
Optimising Storage and Holding Costs: By adhering to FIFO, we optimise storage space by moving older inventory first, resulting in reduced holding costs and maximising space utilisation efficiency.
Enhancing Customer Satisfaction: Following the FIFO principle, we ship fresher products to customers, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
We do indeed offer batch control. This approach is particularly useful when dealing with large quantities of orders or inventory items. Here's a breakdown of what batch control entails and its benefits:
Grouping Orders: Batch control allows orders to be grouped together based on various criteria, such as geographic location, product type, or shipping method. This grouping enables efficient processing and reduces the complexity of handling individual orders separately.
Streamlined Processing: By processing orders in batches, we can optimise workflows. Instead of picking, packing, and shipping each order independently, our team can handle multiple orders at once, leading to faster processing times and increased overall efficiency.
Reduced Errors: Working with batches reduces the chances of errors during order fulfilment. Once a batch is set up, our team can double-check the accuracy of each order within the batch before processing. This reduces the risk of mixing up products or shipping the wrong items to customers.
Inventory Management: Batch control is crucial for inventory management. It helps track the movement of items in and out of the warehouse, enabling better inventory control and preventing stockouts or overstock situations.
