  Proven Strategies To Improve Inventory Management On hearing the term inventory management, a gush of mixed feelings gets collected in our mind, and we start to give our own set of definitions to it. A successful inventory management system is all about spending less on storage, having less stock redundancy, reducing the amount of money invested in stock, and improving customer service.  Indeed, taking a hold onto your inventory management strategy would increase its working efficiency, leading to increased sales as well. However, the current environment, where everything has turned automated around us, expecting an inventory management system to get automated, is not wrong. Every business regardless of its size and domain depends on inventory management.  Inclusion of human efforts in this niche can welcome some mistakes and errors, but giving it a digital turn, enhances the experience to a great extent. The time consuming process of inventory tracking through manual e...

  The true value of poor IT purchasing decisions The true value of poor IT purchasing decisions I was recently reading a post on the Essential Retail website by RSR Research managing partner Steve Rowen, which discussed how retailers often don’t value the IT solutions that they have implemented*. In this article, Steve states: “Not only have retailers purchased a series of technologies that they don't find particularly valuable, but they plan to keep on doing so… If retailers are unsure of solution value, yet continue to purchase those solutions, how will they know if they actually add value?” For many retailers, the world of technology can be a complicated and confusing place, but this does not mean that retailers should continue with a purchasing strategy which isn’t meeting their needs. For many, I guess it is a case of ‘the better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t’, but there are real implications for businesses who are currently engaging in poor IT purchasing decisi...

  Is it time for warehouses to turn to augmented reality? Over recent years, the topic of augmented reality has really come to the fore. While once just a pipedream, the technology is developing and becoming more functional and user friendly thanks to increasing computer power. As such, questions of whether or not it is yet fit for use in industry are being asked more frequently. So what is augmented reality? In layman’s terms, augmented reality is a live view of a real-world environment in which its elements are digitally enhanced with computer generated graphics and sensory input, such as video, graphics or sound.  In a warehouse setting, as this video shows, warehouse operatives would be equipped with a wearable technology with an optical head-mounted display, such as Google Glass, on which relevant information is relayed in real time over the actual scene of the warehouse. Such information would likely include picking locations, picking instructions and stock levels. In a...

  Warehouses don’t need robots to be automated By kapoklog Logistics Warehouses don’t need robots to be automated Reducing the cost of running a warehouse is one of the most critical challenges to business improvement for warehouse managers. In an attempt to overcome this challenge, warehouses are increasingly turning to automation with the intention of improving efficiency and productivity. Many manufacturers and warehouses are currently focussing their attention and efforts on introducing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robots to remove human involvement in moving stock. Whilst the business benefits of this kind of investment are clear, this level of investment is beyond most warehouses. However, the average warehouse can cost-effectively implement other forms of automation. One much smaller element of the warehouse process that is a lot easier to automate is the process of data collection, which is traditionally a manual process. Automating data collection in a warehouse c...

  Road transport evolution: autonomous vehicles and loading bay time slots Road transport evolution: autonomous vehicles and loading bay time slots When it comes to exciting developments in the automotive industry, 2025 was an interesting year, with all eyes turned on Volvo’s and Daimler’s latest advances: The Swedish car maker Volvo presented the solution components of its ambitious “Drive me” project in February this year. As part of this project, Volvo, transport authorities , legislators, and the city of Gothenburg work together towards their goal to integrate 100 self-driven cars into real-life traffic – with ordinary people in the driver’s seat – on specific roads around Gothenburg in 2025. Then in May 2025, the first-ever license for operating a self-driven truck on a public highway in the US was granted to the German automotive giant Daimler. Named “Freightliner Inspiration”, their impressive truck drives autonomously on open roads. A human driver is still required to be on...

  A look ahead at what the supply chain should consider in 2025 By Kapoklog Kapoklog Logistics  Circular Economy We all need to give up our throwaway habits. It is essential that as an industry we keep products, components , and materials at their highest utility and value, at all times. Asset management should be an essential part of all of our processes. We should be looking at how we can constantly improve on how we are re-using, maintaining and disposing of goods cost-effectively in order to optimise a product’s lifecycle. In a circular economy we will re-use, re-manufacture and recycle and see products such as a smartphone or TV in a different way, not as they are but as opportunities for continuous value creation, using their parts. For the supply chain and particularly the after market services (AMS) industry this necessitates a sincere revaluation of our practices. We need to innovate our business models, reformulating the way we work to place the concepts of contin...
