Optimizing Warehouse Efficiency with SKUBIQ’s Inbound Process

warehouse inbound process

Efficient warehouse management is crucial for businesses that deal with inventory. The process of receiving goods in a warehouse is a critical aspect of warehouse management as it sets the tone for the entire supply chain. SKUBIQ’s Inward Receipts Management is a powerful software solution that streamlines this process, making it efficient and easy to manage. Let’s explore how SKUBIQ can help you optimize your warehouse operations.

Warehouse Inward Receipts in SKUBIQ

Warehouse inward receipts refer to the process of recording and tracking the movement of inward goods as they are received in a warehouse. This process typically involves the following steps

1. Purchase order receipt

The process begins when an advanced shipment notice (ASN) is received from a supplier. This notice lists the items that are expected to be received, along with their quantities and expected delivery date. If no ASN is available, a blind receipt can be recorded in the SKUBIQ software.

2. Control tower dashboard

SKUBIQ’s control tower dashboard is a powerful tool for optimizing warehouse operations. It provides real-time visibility into dock availability and allows warehouse managers to quickly and easily allocate a dock for incoming shipments. This feature and SKUBIQ’s other advanced features can help businesses streamline their operations and improve their bottom line.

3. Barcode labelling

SKUBIQ’s barcode labelling feature is a powerful tool for businesses looking to optimize their warehouse operations. It simplifies the process of inventory tracking and management, even in cases where suppliers do not provide standard barcode labels. This feature and SKUBIQ’s other advanced features can help businesses streamline their operations and improve their bottom line.

4. Racking and putaway strategies

SKUBIQ offers flexibility in racking and putaway strategies, supporting both pallet and direct putaway. The items are palletized with unique pallet license plate numbers at the staging area and then put away in the racking locations based on the system-suggested putaway business rules.

5. Confirmation of receipt

Once all the items are received and put away into different zones, the receipt of the shipment can be confirmed. Any discrepancies in the receipt, such as shortage, damage, excess, or expiry, are validated and updated in the discrepancy note, which is then reported to the supplier.

Benefits of SKUBIQ's Inward Receipts Management

By streamlining the entire process of receiving goods into a warehouse, SKUBIQ’s Inward Receipts Management helps businesses to save time and improve the accuracy of their inventory management. Here are some benefits of using SKUBIQ.

1. Real-time information

The control tower dashboard provides real-time information on the availability of free docks and helps allocate a dock for incoming shipments. This feature helps to reduce waiting times, improve efficiency, and optimize warehouse resources.

2. Barcode labelling

SKUBIQ’s automated barcode labelling feature eliminates the need for manual labelling, reducing the chances of errors and improving the accuracy of inventory data.

3. Flexibility in racking and putaway strategies

SKUBIQ’s flexibility in racking and putaway strategies allows businesses to optimize their warehouse layout and improve the flow of goods through the warehouse.

4. Improved accuracy

By automating the receipt and putaway process, SKUBIQ helps to reduce errors and improve the accuracy of inventory data, ensuring that businesses have an up-to-date and accurate view of their inventory levels.

5. Integration with ERPs

SKUBIQ generates a Good Receipt Note (GRN) that posts the data to the ERP or third-party line of business applications, opening the inventory for further consumption or saleable stock.

Conclusion

In conclusion, SKUBIQ’s warehouse inward receipt module is a powerful tool for any business looking to optimize its warehouse operations. With its advanced features, such as automatic barcode labelling and system-suggested putaway, SKUBIQ can streamline the process of recording and tracking the movement of inward goods, leading to improved accuracy and efficiency.

Furthermore, the ability to generate a GRN and post data to ERPs or third-party line of business applications makes SKUBIQ an invaluable asset for businesses looking to maintain accurate inventory records and avoid stockouts.

If you’re looking to take your warehouse operations to the next level, SKUBIQ’s warehouse inward receipt module is worth considering. Its user-friendly interface and advanced features can help you optimize your operations and improve your bottom line.
