Accurate Multi-SKU Management: From Upload to Pallets

Managing a vast array of products (SKUs) can be complex, but CartonCloud’s powerful WMS simplifies the process. Easily upload your product list with a few clicks using a convenient Excel template, directly into your WMS, and use barcode scanning to enter incoming stock, track stock movement, and validate order picks. 

These features empower you to maintain accurate inventory levels and ensure the quality of your products throughout the fulfillment process. You can use CartonCloud to scan in existing pallet labels on incoming stock, or to create and assign new pallet barcode labels. This way you can not only generate unique IDs for tracking inventory within the warehouse, but also allow for scan-and-validate checks for damage or quality control workflows. 

‍

Optimizing warehouse Location Management 

Using warehouse locations, you can digitally and physically assign and track stock storage and movement, including rate calculations and intuitive stock selection features fro easy inventory management — and setting up your 3PL warehouse locations in your WMS has never been easier.

Within the warehouse, you can set up various locations baked on your warehouse fulfilment workflows and needs. You might want to set up bulk locations (these which might be flooring locations for large, heavy or in/out pallets, etc), as well as single port locations which could be racking shelving assigned by pallet, carton or pick bucket.

These can all be imported into CartonCloud as digital warehouse locations, and CartonCloud can create and print labels for each, allowing your team to scan verify or scan allocate stock to a warehouse location, for greater accuracy.

Warehouse Location Naming Hack

Assign letters to each aisle and numbers to each bay & rack level

Eg: A-12-05 location is in ailse A, bay 12, on level 5.    

Tip: When positioning warehouse label barcodes, position them in ascending order at shoulder height for ease of access. You can also use color stickers on each level and beside each barcode, for easier identification.

‍

Stock Serial Verification and Reallocation 

One thing that consistently sets CartonCloud apart, is our logistics experience, and our close relationship with our customers. This gives us an insider edge, ensuring our features and workflows are designed down to the details — to simplify your workflows nad operations. 

With our serial tracking and reallocation, you can ensure accurate serial and other impartnt stock details are captured and assigned to stock records in the system to ensure accuracy and traceability — while also having the flexibility to use reallocation for stock substitution where needed. 

This might be for white goods or machinery parts selection where the allocated serial number is located behind other stock — to allow pickers to take the easiest to access stock first, for faster ans smoother order fulfilmment, and to control how this feature is used, giving you the ability to fulfil different workflows and requirements for different customers from the one platform. 

It’s that easy to achieve accurate, intuitive, and efficient warehouse management. 🤗

Upskill your entire team, and your customers 

CartonCloud’s online academy provides easy-to-follow video tutorials and courses, to master your warehouse and transport management, and get the most from your system.

The academy is especially useful in training new staff members, upskilling team members and management on new features or new workflows, learning new ways to enhance the optimization of processes, or even upskilling your customers on how to use your software from their own log-in, to manage orders.

Using Automation for Accuracy

Manual processes can introduce errors at any stage in your workflow, from data entry mistakes to picking and packing inaccuracies. An integrated WMS and TMS can significantly reduce these errors by automating many of these tasks.  For example, automatic order picking reduces the risk of picking the wrong item or quantity.  

Real-time inventory updates eliminate discrepancies between your actual stock levels and what's reflected in the system.  Automated reporting ensures your data is always accurate and up-to-date, allowing you to make informed decisions based on reliable information.
