What Are The Benefits Of An Optimized Receiving Process?
• An optimized receiving process aims to ensure that goods ordered from the suppliers are delivered in the
right quantities, in good conditions, and at the proper time. When your receiving procedures are faulty, your
inventory records become inaccurate, making it challenging to fulfill your customers' orders.
• Optimizing your receiving process will offer your business tons of benefits and save you a lot of stress and
issues. Here are a few benefits:
• When you have inaccurate inventory records, you will often disappoint your customers because of un -met
expectations. Having a precise count of your stocks can help you to prevent retail issues such as inventory
shrinkage, stockouts. Online shoppers want a positive customer experience, and ensuring accurate stock
counts mean customers receive a great customer experience.
• Also, it helps manage your sales predictions. For instance, creating a comprehensive receiving process flow
chart to check if the right products are received in the correct order, helps you know your inventory levels.
Plus, you can replenish a product that you predicted might be in demand or notify your customers when an
item is available.
• Prevent overstocking or understocking of products
• When you don't have enough goods in stock to fulfill your customers' orders, you are experiencing a stockout. In
contrast, overstock or dead stock refers to products that are not likely to be sold. Overstock items are because items
are expired, out of season, or not in demand.
• When you accumulate a considerable amount of inventory that doesn't yield any returns, then you have dead stock.
Often, dead stocks or stockouts are caused by inaccurate inventory count. By implementing an ideal warehouse
receiving process, you can accurately determine when your orders from the suppliers are incomplete or if you need
to order more.
• For instance, the Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a valuable tool for tracking supplies through the
warehouse. WMS is used to scan inventory when received, mark and record where the items are stored, and
provide instructions on picking, packing, and shipping them when ordered.
• What Are the Warehouse Receiving Process Steps?
• Receiving goods into the warehouse is not just purchasing from the suppliers and having them delivered to your
store in a few weeks. To have a smooth warehouse operation, you need to be strategic about your receiving
process.
