3 Tips to Improve Your Company’s Shipping and Warehouse Efficiency

Sometimes, the quality of shipping, logistics and warehouse efficiency can hold your company back. Missing deadlines and losing packages in the mail can cost a ton of money. Being outfitted with the right supplies and warehouse organization is one of the best ways to improve your company. At General Partition Company, Inc., the top choice for chipboard layer pads, we are proud to help businesses improve their shipping, logistics and efficiency.

Here are just three of the ways your company can improve when it comes to shipping and the efficiency of your warehouse:

 

Improved Communication With Warehouse

Regardless of whether your warehouse is in the back of your property or a couple of miles down the road, the communication from the front end back to the warehouse is crucial. Quick and accurate communication can help make sending packages out as quickly as possible much easier. If possible, we always recommend verbal communication for special orders or information that is important outside of your shipping template.

 

Embrace Modern Technology Every Chance You Can

Just because your company has survived many years with little to no technology does not mean you can continue to operate that way. Every advance in technology gives birth to new ways to streamline and make managing your business easier. Embracing new technology can provide more accurate shipping results and make organization much easier for employees.

Wearable technology like wireless barcode scanners that can be attached to an employee’s wrist can be a massive timesaver while also eliminating human error from packaging and shipping.

 

Choose the Right Packaging Materials

There are very few things more frustrating than having your package arrive on time and to the right address just for the item(s) to be broken or damaged. Replacing and re-shipping items can cost an arm and a leg over time.

To help prevent this, our team at General Partition Company, Inc. can help get your company outfitted with the right materials and packaging needed to safely ship items all across the world. Our polycoated chipboard and SBS partitions can help ensure your products arrive in the same condition as when they left your store.
