The end of the year is around the corner, and the uncertainty of activating strategies that boost sales and profits for businesses seem to be more active than ever. The Good Weekend, the World Cup, Christmas and New Year, are just some of the most anticipated dates, and where businesses know that they must activate various plans that increase sales.
According to Héctor Tejeda, President of the Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism (Concanaco Servytur), the 2022 Buen Fin is expected to generate 195 billion pesos in economic activity. Add to that a forecasted hybrid demand behavior (online and in-person), and we're looking at multiple logistical challenges including rising operational costs.
Let’s explore how you can get ahead and build a high-performance distribution center (DC) that provides strong support and operational certainty as the year closes.
3 Internal Logistics Solutions That Will Be Trending in 2023
High-Impact Intralogistics Operations:
Embrace Reverse Logistics — No More Resistance: One thing is certain: consumer behavior will continue to evolve at an accelerated pace. Reverse logistics is no longer optional. Post-pandemic, return processes have surged, and it’s time to face them head-on.
Technologies like WMS and WCS software, as well as Sortation Systems, Put to Wall, will be excellent allies.
Real-Time Data Is a Must: “What doesn't get measured, doesn't get improved.” A strategy that isn't based on historical data holds little value. Today, tracking metrics and analyzing data are essential for solid decision-making and planning.
Tools like AI and Big Data will help centralize information and drive smarter decisions.
Intralogistics Technology: As we approach the end of 2022, many DCs still operate manually—not due to strategy or conscious choice, but because of indecision or the mistaken belief that automation could disrupt operations.
Here are some standout solutions for fast and efficient fulfillment at your DC:
Transform Your DC Into a Fail-Proof Fulfillment Center
Ongoing Operational Training: One of the most critical components of a well-functioning DC is well-trained personnel. This goes beyond basic warehouse operations; team members should receive continuous training on the software and equipment they use to avoid errors and rework.
Add to this consistent exposure to new technologies, market trends, and strategic thinking, and you'll see vastly improved results across your entire operation.
Are you overwhelmed by uncertainty about the future of your DC? Have plans you want to achieve but feel bogged down by day-to-day pressure?
