      Support warehouse workers in managing warehouse receipts 

      Overview:

      • Learn how to support your warehouse workers in managing warehouse receipts.  

      Why do you manage warehouse receipts? 

      It's essential to manage warehouse receipts properly by keeping track of the goods that arrive and updating the inventory levels accordingly. This ensures that every item is stored in the right place and that the stock that is older or nearing its expiry date is moved forward. 

      How to support warehouse workers managing warehouse receipts? 

      Here are some strategies to support your warehouse workers manage warehouse receipts.  

      1. Organise receiving area: Ensure the receiving area is well organised and equipped with the necessary tools, such as handheld devices or scanners for barcodes or RFID tags to speed up the receiving process.  
      2. Streamline processes: Develop and document clear standard operating procedures (SOPs) for receiving goods. There should be steps for safety, inspection, quality control, documentation and storage.  
        1. Quality control training: Train your warehouse workers to identify and report any issues or damage immediately to their supervisors as part of quality control measures.  
        2. Safety measures: Ensure warehouse workers are trained in safety handling practices to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries. Regularly reinforce these safety procedures.  
        3. Continuous training and communication: Provide ongoing training and ensure all procedures are accessible to all warehouse workers. Communicate updates regularly to keep everyone informed.  
      3. Conduct regular audits: Perform regular audits on the receiving process and inventory to ensure compliance with the procedures. This helps identify areas for improvement.  
      4. Implement a warehouse tracking system: Use a real-time inventory tracking system to monitor receipts. This assists warehouse workers in keeping stock levels updated as needed.   

      Note: Wiise Warehouse OnTime feature is useful for simple inventory-based businesses. You can use the receive feature to easily update and track incoming goods in your warehouse.
