REASONS WHY
YOU SHOULD

YOUR
WAREHOUSE

Small and medium-sized
wholesalers are the backbone
of most economies

Independent audit and assessment for you

helps to justify why you should
invest time and money in
regular warehouse audits

Reviewing Workflow
and Processes

The ultimate aim here is
to reduce the number of
steps taken to do certain
tasks

14.
PHYSICAL STEPS CAN BE REDUCED
Looking at the number of physical steps it takes to receive, unload and store goods
Review the routes to pick-and-pack items, load and ship orders out
See how items move from receiving and returns at the warehouse dock, the unpacking
and counting procedure
You should uphold quality control in the picking-and-packing process
