Warehouse logistics after the pandemic. What really benefits companies.
A nightmare scenario. In 2020 the pandemic from Covid19 has cut the legs to the transport and logistics sector, causing a drop in turnover of 17.5% and lower revenues for companies equal to the monster figure of 28.8 billion euro. It was a real economic shock, according to data released by Confartigianato Trasporti. And if the recovery of 2021 has certainly contributed to restore oxygen to a sector in deep crisis, all in Italy agree that it is necessary to focus on infrastructure investments, also provided for by the PNRR, as it is necessary for companies to invest and modernise in order to ensure a better future for businesses and workers. Starting with the full digitisation of transport and logistics companies.
What does warehouse logistics mean
Digitising warehouse logistics is now a decisive and compulsory step. The pandemic from Covid19 showed how many, perhaps too many, companies in the sector had an inadequate business model. The pandemic has highlighted its limitations and shortcomings, both on the organisational side and on the IT side. So, the ability to quickly reconfigure one’s activities lays the foundation for a solid start-up that can meet the challenges of the market.
Digitisation of logistics
Digitising logistics means above all ensuring speed and fluidity to the exchange of information along the entire value chain, from customers to employees, from suppliers to the public administration. It is to always have at hand, or better to device, all the information in order to be responsive to moments of difficulty as to periods of growth. Having a “smart” inventory management system is necessary in order to optimize the management of suppliers and warehouses. It is essential to streamline processes and optimize delivery processes. A flexibility also made possible by the new possibilities offered by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Cybersecurity, including the appropriate training of professionals able to govern innovations.
Customised digital logistics
How is the customization done? It starts with the critical problems that every company has to solve, starting with data acquisition and processing tools. This results in the preparation of demand forecasts, the determination of purchase and production orders, the generation of supply proposals for all warehouses of the distribution network. The optimal levels of stock are obtained from predictive analysis, also thanks to mathematical/statistical models of historical series analysis. The constant measurement of the warehouse inventory management system allows the company to speed up work, optimize inventory stocks and gain competitiveness with economies of scale and savings by reducing production costs significantly.
How Thinking Pack works
Thinking Pack was born with the idea of creating a practical but evolved tool for the management, planning and control of existing stocks. From the production plant to the central warehouse, from the peripheral warehouse to the point of sale. With Thinking Pack, the company has in its hands a precise and effective tool that allows it to redefine and optimize, even on a daily basis, the stock levels of each product according to the production or service it intends to offer to its customers. And keep track of all the financial and operational costs associated with replenishing and maintaining a storage point.
