    Why Mobile Scanning in DTC Fulfillment Operations is Necessary<\/h2>\n

    If you’re considering expanding your operations to DTC fulfillment<\/a> in 2023, you must consider implementing warehouse scanning solutions. When you start dealing with high-volume fulfillment scenarios, where you are shipping thousands of small packages daily, often with one or two items, the likelihood of errors increases.<\/p>\n

    Inventory accuracy<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Inventory accuracy<\/a> is critical in DTC fulfillment operations, especially where omnichannel<\/a> ecommerce is involved. Knowing how much inventory you have on hand will help minimize out-of-stock or low-stock messages. A warehouse barcode system<\/a> allows you to keep track of inventory<\/a> levels in real-time, even in multi-warehouse operations<\/a> and can alert you when you need to replenish a product.<\/p>\n

    Warehouse efficiency<\/h3>\n

    Using barcode scanning systems can also improve the efficiency of your warehouse<\/a>. Barcodes can help categorize your products to ensure they are stored correctly and, thus, found quickly. Barcodes can also make the picking process easier by ensuring employees pick the correct item\u2014especially useful when handling similar items from different vendors.<\/p>\n

    Reduce errors<\/h3>\n

    Scanning barcodes across each stage of the fulfillment process\u2014picking<\/a>, packing<\/a>, and shipping\u2014lets employees verify that the correct items are in the box or mailer before it is sealed for shipping, reducing the likelihood of returns. If an order is returned, scanning the barcode will help employees quickly get the item back on the correct shelf.<\/p>\n

    Multi-platform selling<\/h3>\n

    Many ecommerce and DTC brands sell their items on multiple platforms, such as Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify. Brands using barcodes make it easier for fulfillment centers<\/a> to fill orders by ensuring proper inventory levels across all platforms, allowing them to reach more customers.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=”center-vertically” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eef1f8″ background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#6717cd 51%|#0b0b0b 100%” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”42px|auto|45px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”30px|40px|30px|40px|false|false” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”0px” box_shadow_blur=”10px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(74,75,109,0.09)” global_module=”3761″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#ffffff” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”20px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
