To-Increase Reveals How Warehouse Management Systems Help Achieve Impactful Warehouse KPIs

Modern, high tech warehouse management systems help identify and overcome hurdles most in the way of customer demands.

Norwell, MA, August 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To-Increase, a provider of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) built on Microsoft Dynamics technology, reveals in a new blog post how a modern and high-tech WMS can help companies effectively meet the most critical customer demands, from near-immediate order fulfillment to real-time visibility into order status.

The blog post, "Trust Your WMS To Help You Achieve The Warehouse KPIs That Matter," defines two critical demands placed on a company's warehouse by customers: lightning fast service and the ability to track a product through every step in the order process.

"Before you can even think about developing a plan for addressing customer demands, your warehouse needs to define the Key Performance Indicators most related to these goals – and, of course – develop a plan for achieving these KPIs," writes post author Kurt Hatlevik. "This is where you need to trust a modern, high tech Warehouse Management System (WMS.)"

Hatlevik recommends warehouses focus on three KPIs that can help them best identify hurdles in the way of meeting customer demands:

· Open sales orders
· Items invoiced and ready for picking
· Productions that have started, ended or delayed

"While the list of KPIs above is certainly not complete, they each have two things in common: they synch directly with the customer demands we’ve previously defined – and they represent a symptom of a greater challenge: warehouse processes that lack visibility," continues Hatlevik. "And this is where warehouse management technology can help, by providing complete global visibility into every warehouse process and piece of inventory."
