Would instant alerts help your company process customer requests faster? The built-in “System Alerts” feature in all Magaya logistics software can notify you or any employee when a customer places an online order or other LiveTrack transaction. See this month’s how-to tip to learn more.Patrick Oliva, founder of Simple Freight Solutions, started from a home office, but now is doubling his warehouse space to handle the increased volume that each year has brought his New York logistics company.
When Patrick Oliva started his freight forwarding business out of his home office in 2008, he did not imagine his company would grow so much that he’d move four times in four years and be doubling his warehouse space by the summer of 2012. The company, Simple Freight Solutions, went from Mr. Oliva’s hometown of Bohemia, New York, on Long Island, to renting space at the John F. Kennedy International Airport and back to Bohemia. He chose to return to his neighborhood of Bohemia when he purchased trucks and courier vans for his business and he calculated the cost of the commute to realize he could save 70% in overhead compared to renting space and commuting to JFK. Saving money is a key component of managing a small business well, as is having the right partners and technology.

A warehouse is a commercial building that stores goods and is used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. The goods stored may be anything among raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components or finished goods. Most often, these warehouses are located in industrial areas of cities where goods are loaded and unloaded from trucks, railways, airports or harbors. The goods may be placed on standard pallets from where they are lifted using cranes and forklifts.

Companies that own any kind of warehouse learn early on that monitoring inventory is critical to financial success. Whether your company is a wholesaler that holds a significant amount of product or you are a small retail store that has a small warehousing operation, you need logistics software to help you run your operations more efficiently. When you have good inventory control software in place, you can monitor the movement of your stock and lower the cost of purchasing items that you do not use. You can see which items sell quickly and which ones sit on the shelves for a long time. It will help you in your purchasing and your sales projection operations.
Logistics software also helps to schedule deliveries and mark products in as soon as they arrive to the warehouse. You can then use your inventory control software to compare the products you received to the products that were on the purchase order. It helps you to identify products that may be on backorder and to see items that may have been missed in the shipment. You can also find out if anything was shipped that was not part of your order. All of these inventory control activities are critical to making sure that the product that sits on your warehouse shelves is product that you can sell. If you are getting products you did not order, then you may be getting stuck with inventory you cannot use.
Your inventory control software also works in conjunction with your purchasing software to schedule orders based on consumer needs. A company that is buying products after they are out is a company that could be losing orders. But if you use your logistics software to follow product sales and always have your most popular products in stock, then your sales will increase. When you always have stock on hand for the consumers that want it, then you become a preferred vendor for more and more clients. That improves your buying power and will add profit to your bottom line.
Any time you have to maintain any level of inventory you should have inventory control software installed into your computer network. When you use logistics software to its fullest potential, then you are helping to create a more efficient purchasing system that will pay for itself with more sales and higher profits. In any size organization, inventory management is a process that always generates more income when used properly.
