In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, every order counts. Yet, behind the scenes in bustling warehouses, a silent enemy lurks: picking errors. These seemingly minor mistakes – grabbing the wrong item and miscounting quantities – can hurt your business.
According to RedStag Fulfillment, the average cost of picking the wrong item can range from a staggering $20 to $60. This hidden drain on your bottom line extends far beyond the price of the incorrect item. Consider the ripple effect:
- Lost sales: Disgruntled customers receiving wrong or incomplete orders are less likely to return.
- Increased operational costs: Repicking, reshipping, and customer service add to your workload and expenses.
- Damaged brand reputation: Negative reviews and word-of-mouth can quickly erode your customer base.
So, how can you combat this costly enemy and achieve picking perfection? The answer lies in Acumatica’s Warehouse Management System (WMS), and InfoSourcing, your trusted Acumatica Gold Certified Partner, is here to guide you.
