. Outcome
6.1 Benefits for clients
There are 3 main benefits for clients:
- Better
efficiency – IonData Lite allows warehouse
staff to be far more efficient in their processing
of goods into, and out of, the warehouse.
- Easier
production of reports – The new system allows
staff to quickly and easily produce a number of
reports at the touch of a button. These are emailed
to clients for inclusion in their stock systems.
Future developments of the system will allow clients
to log on, through the QC Logistics web site, to
an extranet, where they will be able to build and
print their own reports on an as-needed basis.
- Better
stock traceability – The labelling and scanning
system employed by IonData Lite makes the tracking
and tracing of particular stocks items far easier.
Additionally, with staff logging into the system,
it will also be possible to identify the exact user
that picked the stock.
6.2
Benefits for QC Logistics
- Reduced
level of paperwork – The system now in place
has greatly reduced the need for paperwork thus
reducing the manpower required to run the warehouse
and making the whole process of running the warehouse
far less time consuming overall. Without the new
system, as business increased, QC would have had
to have employed more labour and therefore increased
costs.
- Reporting
– The reports produced by IonData Lite add
real value to the management of the warehouse. The
reports are produced once a week and stored centrally
for management to view at their leisure.
- Gives
customers confidence – Investing in leading edge IT solutions gives
clients peace of mind and confidence in the service offered by QC.
- Ease of
invoicing – Because the IonData Lite system
is tied into Sage, invoicing is more straightforward.
- Competitive
advantage – The new systems in place give QC
Logistics a competitive advantage over other potential
suppliers in the marketplace.
