Chances are you have a loyal core team on your warehouse floor. These are the people you trust to keep your operations in check, to always hit their numbers, and take new team members under their wing. These are the people who keep things moving. You know they will always be there – even when the going gets tough.
It would be ideal if your entire workforce had the same grit, determination and dependability as that core team, but the nature of warehouse work means this is very rarely the case.
When seasons peak, and supply chain demand increases, it does so across the board. Up until recently, the only answer to tackling the many and varied challenges was more human hands, but that is a difficult order to fill, and it’s only getting worse.
Labor shortages have been, and continue to be, one of the biggest challenges faced by any warehouse operations manager, world-over. But there could be a solution, one which will mean your trusted and loyal core team may well be the only people you need.
That solution is innovative technology, focused on making the most of the valuable skills of your best workers.
