Examples of HHT Functionality
Book Goods In
HHT scanners use barcodes to identify stock facilitating speedy and accurate booking in of inventory from supplier deliveries, ensuring the correct quantity has been received by delivery and has been stored in the correct warehouse location for future picking. This is crucial for accelerating subsequent pick, pack, and despatch processes.
Accurate Picking
The device helps navigate your pickers to the correct warehouse location and verify that the quantity of items has been picked – mitigating human error and streamlining operations. HHT devices also offer additional options to either pick a single order or multiple orders at the same time – reducing the picking resource required. This process can also be used when packing orders ready for shipment.
Check Stock Locations
HHT devices can also help with the management of stock in a single location allowing warehouse staff to produce a stock take or relocate stock for busy seasonal times.
Key Performance Insights
Accumulate crucial Key Performance Insights(KPI) information to ensure your warehouse is optimised in it’s operations, such as live picking rates, total and average numbers of items picked per day, user statistics and most popular stock locations.
Update Stock Levels in Real Time
Barcode scanning software provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and locations. As items are scanned during various warehouse processes, the inventory system is updated immediately for all users at the same time. This enables accurate inventory tracking, reduces the risk of stockouts or overstocking, and helps with the decision-making for purchasing and restocking.
Increased Efficiency
By eliminating manual processes and reducing errors, barcode scanning software increases overall warehouse efficiency and productivity. This allows staff to complete their tasks more quickly and accurately, resulting in faster order processing, reducing labour costs, and improved customer satisfaction.
