Manage episode 431559799 series 3585895
Tom from PeopleVox discusses warehouse management and the challenges brands face when scaling up their fulfillment operations. He explains that the triggers for considering a warehouse management system (WMS) include the need for more efficiency, reducing warehouse labour costs, and improving inventory accuracy. Tom also highlights the importance of timing and planning when implementing a WMS, as it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on the complexity of the implementation. He emphasises the value of working with a WMS provider who understands the pain points and goals of the business. Peoplevox specializes in warehouse management systems for e-commerce businesses. They offer nine different picking methods to improve warehouse efficiency and handle data management. The system is particularly beneficial for larger brands with high turnovers and complex operations. Returns are a significant challenge for e-commerce brands, and Peoplevox helps streamline the process. They also provide ongoing support and customer success to ensure clients are getting the most out of the system. The implementation process involves an initial call, tech stack review, software demonstration, and proposal. Peoplevox charges an implementation fee and a monthly fee that is only realised once the client is live and benefiting from the system.
