How Mobile Applications Can Improve California's 3PL Warehouse Operations

A warehouse offers a lot of things to keep track of, from inventory and orders to employees and equipment. Our goal at Eleets 3PL is to make that tracking as easy and accurate as possible. That's why we use the latest technology and solutions when we're providing our warehouse management and fulfillment services to our customers. One thing that might really change the game is the rise of mobile applications, and we're ready to make the most of this new tech to keep improving our 3PL warehouse operations.

Let's take a closer look at how these mobile apps can improve warehouse operations.

Increase Worker Agility

Workers no longer need to be tied down to a specific station. Instead, they can take the data and tools that they need with them and move throughout the warehouse. They don't have to rely on one computer or terminal to access data or type in crucial information that a warehouse needs to keep running smoothly. Instead, workers can keep on moving, getting the flexibility they need to do the best possible job thanks to new mobile applications.

Improved Accuracy

Mobile apps can improve the accuracy of a warehouse as well. Picks are more accurate. You get more up to date shipping and tracking information. You can track equipment more efficiently as well. The more information you have in more hands, the better, and that's exactly what mobile apps do for your warehouse and its workforce.

More Info For Workers Outside the Warehouse

Warehouse workers aren't the only part of a workforce though. There are also many valuable workers outside the warehouse, and now they can easily get data and tracking information while they're on the go. Truck drivers, salespeople, and field personnel can also receive important information through mobile apps that they just might not have had access to before. This helps keep everyone in your organization in the loop, not just the warehouse workers.

More Information FROM Outside the Warehouse

This relationship goes both ways though. Now your workers outside the warehouse can send you and your warehouse team more useful information. You now have real-time geolocation data for inventory in transit. You know if something unexpected has come up because you're getting the best tracking and tracing data available to you. The more information that you're able to share between all of your employees, the better.

You Can More Effectively Deal With Customer Problems

Mobile applications can also make it easier for warehouse staff to help customers who have run into some issues. You can access customer relationship management tools wherever you are. You don't have to pause what you're doing, run back to the right computer or terminal to take care of the problem, and then try and get back to the task at hand. Handle your customer's problem promptly from right where you are, without getting distracted.
