Nothing improves accuracy and efficiency in the warehouse more than automation. With a warehouse management and automation system, you reduce the opportunity for human error and increase productivity. With Scanco warehouse automation for Sage 100, your warehouse is brought to a whole new level.

Investments in Automated Business Processes and Barcode Systems Pay Off

Manufacturers and distributors have recognized the value of automated business processes, especially barcode systems in the warehouse. Improving the efficiency of warehouse logistics and minimizing costly mistakes is of critical importance. These automated systems and processes improve inventory accuracy; better tracking can improve cash flow and profitability. Investments in automated business processes have shown significant returns for all types of businesses.

Warehouse Automation Reduces Human Error

Even with great training and stellar performance, employees are human and humans make mistakes. Even small mistakes can translate into costly errors in the warehouse. When you arm your employees with warehouse automation and mobile barcoding systems, you enable them to provide error-free inventory management. Reducing errors are an opportunity to improve the bottom line. One small business quickly found out that by implementing an automated business process they could save $40,000 per year. An HVAC contractor featured in Small Biz Trends was losing money on parts and supplies that slipped through their manual inventory cracks. Once barcoding technology was installed in the company’s warehouse, they quickly found out where the gaps had occurred and were able to rectify their inventory mistakes. Their investment in automation reduced the human errors encountered during inventory checks and helped them save money.
