A warehouse where newbies can get by in a day. Why working with a WMS is easier than you expect

Training new people in the warehouse is one of the biggest challenges for any company that deals with logistics. Some take weeks, others just a few days. And then there are companies like TRANS – TECHNIK, where a newcomer can get the hang of it literally in one day. How is that possible? The LOKiA WMS warehouse system helps them with this.

Anyone who has managed a warehouse knows this: a new person needs to get their bearings in the operation, learn where everything is, what processes the company uses, and what a typical day looks like. In practice, this means that a newbie watches a colleague for a few days, gets their hands on paper lists, and then tries to "pick up on the fly." What they don't understand, they guess, and what they don't understand, they only find out when complaints or delays arise.

The learning curve is steep and often hurts both parties: the newcomer and the warehouse manager.

A digital warehouse system, such as LOKiA WMS , changes the rules of the game. The warehouse worker does not have to invent anything, remember anything. The system guides him step by step: it shows where to go, what to stock, what to pick, what to check. Working with a reader and barcodes means that even a novice immediately knows where what goods are and what to do. And most importantly: in Czech, clearly and intuitively.

Practical experience: TRANS –TECHNIK

The company TRANS – TECHNIK operates a warehouse and production facilities with an area of 5,000 m2. That is where they decided to deploy LOKiA WMS. And what do they think about it?

" We are very satisfied. The system is intuitive and new employees learn really quickly. In addition, there is perfect support - quick response to any requests. "
- Roman Kuchyňka, TRANS – TECHNICIAN

Thanks to digital records, they have a very accurate overview of the current stock status, and the arrival of new employees no longer disrupts daily operations.

WMS (Warehouse Management System) reduces the error rate not only for newcomers. It automatically checks whether the warehouse worker has stored or picked the correct goods, monitors the exact packaging during shipping, and can thus detect errors before they leave the warehouse. Feedback comes immediately. If the warehouse worker makes a mistake, the reader stops him. This is the difference compared to paper documents, where you only discover the error after a few days.

Thanks to LOKiA WMS, the warehouse manager has the warehouse under control. He knows who is doing what, how quickly, how much has been picked and what the error rate is. Some places would have to create a table for a similar overview, others simply rely on impressions. Here it is in the data and in real time. In addition, the system can be easily connected to the company's ERP . No IT team is needed - you can handle everything with the supplier's support and a clear interface that will suit even people without technical experience.

One of the most common concerns of companies is that implementing a WMS will be complicated or slow down operations. However, this is not the case with LOKiA WMS. Implementation is fast, the system works in the cloud and has a friendly interface that even someone who has never worked with a WMS can learn. On the contrary, the sooner a company starts, the better it will be able to avoid confusion, complaints or panic at the peak of the season.

Is your warehouse ready for change?

Try to answer:

• How quickly do you train a new warehouse worker?
• How do you know that your goods are where they should be?
