Conquering eCommerce series – Part One

Talking about Peak - this video is the first in a series about the critical role of WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) in eCommerce. With increasing Inventory Returns, the need for rapid Delivery, and Sustainability considerations, Warehouses face immense (and ever-increasing) pressure.

ECommerce's growth has led to more orders, diverse Inventory, and a necessity for Omni-Channel fulfilment – something that’s especially pertinent at this time of year for a lot of our customers. Advanced WMS solutions (like Dispatcher WMS from Blue Yonder ) not only streamline receipt processes but also offer sophisticated options that ensure the kind of accurate, efficient Inventory Management that’s crucial for e-commerce success. If you'd like to read the full article (and the whole series), you can find it here.

Sustainable Warehousing

Cut Costs & Boost Efficiency with a Sustainable WMS.

In warehousing today, the energy you use directly impacts your bottom line. So, investing in an energy-efficient Warehouse Management System (WMS) isn't just good for the planet—it's great for your business too.

Benefits of a Sustainable WMS:

• LED lighting and smart climate control can slash your energy use by up to 50%.
• Optimise operations and reduce excess equipment and labour.
• Enjoy longer-lasting systems with lower maintenance costs.
• Leverage tax benefits and grants for sustainable practices.
• Stand out with a green supply chain.
