Between rising inflation, labor shortages, and the inability of production to keep up with commodity demand, it can feel like a terrible time to be in an industry that relies heavily on the global supply chain. What can the pandemic and Russo-Ukrainian War tell us about where the supply chain is headed and more importantly, how can we be prepared to rise to the challenge?

Alexa, Siri, Cortana, and other personal voice assistants are mainstays of daily life. How can you indirectly leverage this to the benefit of your warehouse or distribution center?

If employee attrition is high, maybe the question to ask isn’t, “Why does no one want to work here?” A better question to ask in today’s challenged labor market is, “What can I do differently to attract and retain new workers?”

When picking errors are on the rise, customer satisfaction is dropping, and employee safety is in question, it may be time to reconsider your picking technology. 

Whether they realize it or not, many warehouses lose significant amounts of money each year through uncaptured services, misplacing invoices, receiving chargebacks from unhappy customers, and wasting administrative time with manual data entry.

Voice can be just as powerful in industries, such as maintenance and inspection, where technicians perform vehicle checks in hard-to-navigate locations and still need an efficient way to record data. Mountain Leverage helps M&I shops automate and streamline processes through voice solutions.

Warehouse picking key performance indicators can tell you what’s holding you back from peak performance, whether it’s a sluggish workflow that’s consuming time, employees who need more support, or a trouble spot where mistakes commonly occur.

Voice-picking warehouses have a unique feature that reduces picking errors called check digits. How could check digits reduce errors in your warehouse or distribution center?
