Third-Party Logistics
Facing & solving industry challenges
Space Management
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Efficiently organising and utilising often limited storage space can be challenging, especially when serving diverse customers as a 3PL company. This may lead to suboptimal use of available space, making it harder to locate and access items quickly.
AS/RS and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space, maximising vertical and horizontal storage space.
Productivity
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Labour-intensive processes such as loading and unloading, palletising, and safe material movement and storage can slow down operations significantly, especially for heavy goods.
Robotic or semi-automated vacuum handling solutions enable faster & safer palletisation.
Conveyor systems can be used to transport ingredients and finished goods without the need for manual lifting or carrying.
AS/RS help safely store and retrieve material in high-density racks.
Automated truck (un)loading systems operate (un)load a trailer in about 2-3 minutes.
Inventory Accuracy & Real-Time Visibility
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Maintaining accurate inventory counts can be difficult. Human errors in recording, picking, and shelving items can lead to discrepancies in inventory levels in the form of stockouts or overstock situations, delays in order fulfillment, and customer dissatisfaction.
Implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps track inventory levels, locations, and movements.
Using barcodes and RFID as well as sensors identify and track goods and prevent errors.
Automation allows for real-time visibility into inventory levels, order statuses, and warehouse performance.
Order Fulfillment Accuracy
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
A third-party logistics business coordinates and owns the whole order fulfillment process from start to finish. Manual picking and packing processes are prone to errors, which can result in incorrect shipments, delayed deliveries, and customer dissatisfaction.
Conveyor systems automate the movement of materials and products throughout the warehouse and between different stages of order fulfillment, reducing manual handling time.
Robots can be employed for order-picking tasks with high precision and speed.
A WMS enhances inventory management and optimises picking routes, offering real-time visibility into inventory levels.
Limited Scalability
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Scalability is a constraint in manual warehouses, making it hard to handle growing order volumes and diversified product offerings.
Automation solutions are scalable and can be implemented gradually. Conveyor Systems, AS/RS and WMS streamline operations, enhance space utilisation, and accommodate rising order volumes and product diversity. Automated picking robots and packing machines can significantly increase order processing speed.
