Transformation of E-commerce Warehouse Operations

In the E-Commerce industry, warehousing has struggled with space optimization, labor shortages, seasonal spikes and drops, regulatory compliance and inefficient order fulfillment. Let's look at the solution to these problems using the example of a specific person.

Meet Owen, a Warehouse Operations Manager, who has faced numerous challenges in managing his company's warehouse.

Keeping an eye on inventory and making sure operations were in order was a regular challenge. In addition, not being able to monitor operations in real time made things even more difficult. As customer demands increased, Owen felt under pressure to keep up with everything.

Seeking Solutions

Talking to his network of experts Owen realized that the problems he faced in the warehouse are quite common and was advised to try to find companies that provide warehouse optimization services. When selecting companies to work with, Owen decided to focus on the successful cases of the companies and also on the company's relationships with its partners. So Owen started looking for companies that could help with problem solving.

So, Owen started looking for what solutions additional tools there are that have integration with their ERP system Odoo.

Surfing the internet Owen came across an interesting article by Cleverence about working with Odoo ERP system and by looking at the company's website Owen learned that Cleverence could offer customized solutions for his specific problems. From improving inventory management to implementing more efficient processes, Cleverence seemed like the perfect partner.

Preparation and Implementation

Owen sent a form and was contacted to discuss specific steps and clarify the scope of the work. Owen also spoke with an expert and decided to purchase several licenses of Warehouse 15 software for the data collection terminals, which would allow him to achieve the transparency he was looking for in his inventory.

This advanced system divided the warehouse into zones, each of which was organized with racking consisting of shelves. Each storage area, or bin, was carefully labeled and managed, ensuring optimal product placement for efficient searching and stocking.
• Easier collaboration: Cleverence provided smooth collaboration between warehouse operators, especially when handling large goods. By allowing multiple operators to work on the same goods at the same time using mobile devices, Cleverence provided real-time visibility and coordination.
