Warehousing and logistics as an industry forms the backbone of many other sectors as it is crucial to deliver goods to end-users and consumers at the right time, in the quantity they want. Warehousing and logistics businesses in Singapore and Malaysia have been at the forefront when it comes to adopting new technologies to bring in more efficiency and better service.
However, the warehousing establishments in these regions face significant challenges that have proved to be major hindrances in their way of achieving maximum development. In the following, we discuss the major challenges faced by the industry and how Focus Softnet’s warehouse management systems and ERP solutions help to overcome them.
Warehouses in Singapore and Malaysia lack measures to monitor the performance of supply chains, how well they are able to fulfill ongoing demands and therefore unable to predict the potential surge or decline in future demand. This makes inventory management and planning very difficult.
Storage facilities also face problems in optimizing their use of space for maximum efficiency. With no automated inventory management software to manage stocks and greater dependence on manual processes, warehouses are unable to grow their potential.
Most of the warehouses and logistics establishments work on a multitude of software that operate separately from each other. The lack of integration contributes to the formation of data silos, data duplication and outdated information that significantly affects both short- and long-term decision making, and even causes waste of raw material and resources.
Without a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to integrate processes, business owners and managers would be unable to track ongoing operations and their status, resulting in delayed order processing and dissatisfied customers.
The lack of a unified warehouse ERP system results in operational inefficiencies as the business owners and managers would not be equipped with the tools to gain control on inventory, manage workforce and optimize storage.
Warehouses that are unable to track their operations would have a lesser customer satisfaction rate. Operational inefficiencies would also result in higher costs and lower revenue growth, as slow order processing pushes customers away rather than retaining them.
