While a traditional warehouse typically involves processes for storing, picking and packing products, an e-commerce warehouse can do much more. In an e-commerce warehouse, the space often doubles as an online store and fulfillment center, where inventory is received and managed, orders are completed and returns are processed.
Managing an e-commerce warehouse successfully relies on organization. Fast-moving product should be stored in areas quickest and easiest to access. If you have products commonly purchased in bundles, it’s wise to keep those products close together, which allows for convenient cluster picking. Stock similar items together, much like in a grocery store, but keep them separated to avoid mixing SKUs.
Follow these tips to manage your warehouse efficiently:
In today’s age of on-demand shopping, consumers have come to expect fast and reliable shipping, often within two days or less. If your e-commerce warehouse and fulfillment center isn’t optimized, there is no way it can deliver the results expected by today’s online shoppers, which would ultimately damage your company’s reputation and potential for revenue.
E-commerce has grown more popular every year, thanks to trends in mobile shopping and drop shipping, so it’s important for warehouse owners to have practices that support e-commerce customers. This means tenants can find the services necessary for success.
