Return on Investment (ROI)

What kind of return can you expect for the money you’ve invested in your new supply chain systems?
We calculate that you can:

• Reduce labor costs by 20-30%
• Reduce or eliminate costs due to errors
• Reduce inventory costs due to inaccuracy
• Reduce overall inventory requirements
• Increase space utilization

But don’t take our word for it.  According to the Multichannel Merchant, a warehouse management system will generate these results:

Fewer errors

Your data-entry personnel produce one error every 300 keystrokes. With radio-frequency (RF) scanning of bar codes, that number plummets to one error every 3 million.

Reduced forklift travel time

System-directed picks and put-aways will reduce your forklift travel time by as much as 50%. Your put-away people spend at least an hour a day searching for locations. That hour will be all but eliminated. Picking accounts for 55% of your warehouse labor dollars. And 50% of the picking process consists of traveling to and from the locations.

Reduced operating expenses

You can expect to receive as much as a 35% reduction in your operating expenses.

Reduced inventory cost

The cost of carrying inventory is usually about 27% less in an automated environment.

Inventory accuracy

Inventory accuracy increases around 20%.

Shipment accuracy

Shipment accuracy improves around 5%.

No more inventories

After the system is implemented, you’ll have zero inventories to perform.
