Warehouse operations difficulties before using Elmich's MEKSMART WMS  

Elmich is a large household appliance company in Vietnam, specializing in manufacturing and distributing household products such as pots, pans, kettles, induction cookers, blenders,... With the scale of operations expanding, Elmich has noticed difficulties in warehouse operations, specifically as follows: 

#1. Low inventory visibility

Manually managing inventory makes it difficult for Elmich to keep track of current inventory, the location of the goods, and the condition of the goods.

Therefore, shortages of goods, excess inventory, errors in import and export, etc. also occur frequently. 

#2. Manual and time-consuming warehouse import and export process

The warehouse import and export processes at Elmich's warehouse are done completely manually, from counting goods, making warehouse receipts, and warehouse release slips to finding goods. These processes become slow, time-consuming, and error-prone. 

#3. Low labor productivity

Due to manual processes, Elmich warehouse employees have to perform many repetitive operations, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive; the labor productivity of warehouse employees has since also decreased. 

#4. Lack of safety in warehouses

The unscientific warehouse arrangement, and lack of labor safety regulations make Elmich's warehouse potentially at risk of accidents and explosions. 

#5. Difficulty in scaling warehouses

With its operations expanding, Elmich needed to scale its warehouses to meet production and business needs. However, expanding the warehouse will face many difficulties, costs, and time.
