If you want your company to prosper and grow healthily, you need to start from the ground up. That is, from the warehouse. Confusion, product mix-ups and subsequent returns cost you unnecessary time and money. If your warehouse has not yet switched to the third millennium, it is high time to change so that it does not become an unnecessary brake on your business. LOKiA WMS is a smart solution that will turn your warehouse into a well-functioning organism - fast, accurate, replaceable and ready for growth.
Owners and managers of small and large companies today face the same dilemma - how to combine the speed and quality of warehouse operations, reduce error rates, and at the same time be prepared for growing orders? Customers are increasingly demanding and the competition never sleeps. One of the important, yet often neglected keys to success is an efficient warehouse - and this is exactly the area where LOKiA WMS excels.
LOKiA WMS (Warehouse Management System) is not just software for warehouse management. It is a comprehensive solution that brings digitalization and automation of warehouse processes, and above all – ensures that the warehouse ceases to be a potential weak link in your business. LOKiA WMS specialists from GRiT help companies not only with the implementation of the system, but also with the possible organization of the warehouse itself so that every step makes sense and the warehouse functions at 100%.
What will change in the warehouse with LOKiA?
Imagine that no one in the company will have to deal with who comes to work and who is on vacation or sick. Every new warehouse worker is trained quickly and easily, because all processes are clear and controlled by the system. Warehouse workers' routes do not resemble chaotic movement in a maze, but are carefully planned to save time and the number of steps. Orders are sent out without unnecessary delays and errors - just like in the company Světluška , where thanks to LOKiA WMS, they managed to speed up the expedition twice .
The Bosonožka e-shop, on the other hand, praises how they managed to speed up the processing of returns by 65% , while immediately seeing the returned goods on the e-shop ready for resale. And Motopoint ? Thanks to LOKiA WMS, they manage to ship all orders received by 4 pm the same day.
From the past to the future: When storage hinders growth
Many companies, before deciding on LOKiA WMS, struggled daily with errors in picking and product mix-ups. Individual warehouse workers worked according to their own rules, everyone “knew their own thing” and had their “guaranteed best system” – but as soon as someone got sick or left, unnecessary chaos arose. It was difficult to train new people because there was no unified system.
Paper statements, manual transcriptions, chaotic routes through the warehouse – all this led not only to delays and errors, but mainly to constant complaints and returns. Customers received different goods or incomplete orders, and each error meant not only additional costs, but also a loss of trust and customer satisfaction. Moreover, without a clear overview of warehouse stocks, it was more difficult to plan purchases, estimates and expansion. Not to mention the complexities of inventory.
What can our solution do?
LOKiA WMS stops this carousel and brings order and overview to the warehouse. Its main functionalities include:
- Automatic route planning for warehouse workers for maximum efficiency
- Direct connection to ERP systems, e-shops and carriers
- Two-step check of each order to reduce error rates
- Real-time overview of inventory and its movement
- Easy processing and restocking of returns
- Fast and accurate inventory taking using barcode scanners
- Access from anywhere thanks to the cloud platform
- Ability to set rights and roles for individual users
- Instant reports and warehouse performance analysis
LOKiA WMS is a revelation for anyone who has recently peeked into a warehouse. But time is moving forward by leaps and bounds, the future is now, and those who fall asleep will have a hard time getting back on the bandwagon. And it would be a shame to let it slip away "just" because of an outdated warehouse system.
What makes LOKiA WMS special?
Thanks to the fact that LOKiA WMS runs completely in the cloud, all you need is an internet connection and you can access it from anywhere, without the need for expensive IT infrastructure. It easily connects to your ERP, e-shop and carriers, giving you 100% overview of everything related to the warehouse.
A key benefit is the modularity of the entire system , where you can continuously acquire and purchase only those parts of the solution that you need. Do you have a season and would you like a 3-month module? No problem. Are you taking inventory and need twice the number of users and renting hardware? Just say so! And as your company gradually grows, we can continuously expand the functionalities and even permanently.
Above all, the manager will continue to appreciate real-time stock overviews and partial reports, thanks to which it is easy to monitor the performance of the team and individuals. LOKiA WMS also streamlines work with returns, which are often underestimated, but expensive, part of logistics. Each item can easily be returned to the system and the e-shop, which means less loss and faster turnover. Thanks to this flexibility , customer care and delivery teams can react much faster and solve most requests on a completely different level than using other software.
The advantages of the solution will also be felt by the warehouse workers themselves , who will have a floor plan of the entire warehouse on the home screen in the web environment and thus gain an immediate overview. The readers will guide them flawlessly to the correct position and the system will suggest the most efficient route for picking. They can rely on a two-step check that eliminates the error rate by up to 99%, which will immediately have a positive effect on the reduced number of complaints and, conversely, increased customer satisfaction.
Efficiency means profit
When the warehouse runs smoothly, the entire business grows. Fast shipping leads to happier customers. Accurate picking reduces the cost of returns. Thanks to an overview of inventory, you don't have to keep an unnecessarily large amount of goods and at the same time you are sure that deliveries will be made on time. You can invest the savings in necessary things or they will be reflected in wages - thanks to automation, fewer warehouse workers can handle the warehouse, which you can add.
As one of the LOKiA WMS users says: "Today, we don't care if we process 100 or 200 orders a day - everything runs smoothly and quickly." And he is right, according to available data, order preparation and dispatch with LOKiA WMS is on average 80% faster.
How much does LOKiA WMS cost and how quickly can you deploy it?
"Investing in LOKiA WMS may seem high at first glance, but compared to what it will help with in the warehouse and bring to the company, it is a negligible amount in the long term," says Adam Fiala, the operations director of Ovečkárna, in his decision.
In addition, the initial investment has a quick return , as the difference between the overall reduction in warehouse operating costs (not just the reduction in the number of warehouse workers needed) and the cost of LOKiA WMS is truly negligible.
Our solution is also affordable thanks to the already mentioned modularity , where we can activate only those components that your warehouse needs. Basically, we will build LOKiA WMS for you like a LEGO puzzle and you will only pay for what you fully use and not for unnecessary extra features.
The implementation time is influenced by several things - such as external companies that manage other systems for you and that need to be connected - but with our extensive experience and many years of practice, we can reduce the deployment time to a minimum and your warehouse will of course be able to operate during this transition.
