Pre-Shipment Checks
Order Picking and Packaging
In this stage, orders are manually retrieved from inventory storage locations by warehouse staff or automated picking systems to facilitate shipment. Items are then verified for accuracy against shipping labels and pick lists. Once complete, packages are sealed, labeled, and prepared for dispatch to customers or other destinations. This step involves the physical collection of goods and their subsequent processing into a state suitable for transport. The goal is to efficiently gather all required items for each order while minimizing handling and associated errors.
Order Picking and Packaging
Shipping Label Creation
The Shipping Label Creation process step involves generating shipping labels for packages that are ready to be dispatched. This process typically starts after a package has been prepared and all necessary information such as weight, dimensions, and destination address have been recorded in the system. The user navigates to the relevant section of the application where they select the package(s) for which shipping labels need to be created. Once selected, the system generates the shipping label based on the package details and shipping carrier selected. The generated label is then displayed on screen or printed out depending on the preference settings. This step ensures that all packages are properly labeled and prepared for efficient delivery to customers.
Shipping Label Creation
Order Confirmation and Tracking
The Order Confirmation and Tracking process step involves verifying the details of an order received from a customer and ensuring that it is correctly processed. This includes checking for any discrepancies or errors in the order information and updating the system accordingly. Once verified, the order status is updated to reflect its current state, providing transparency to both the customer and internal stakeholders. The tracking feature allows customers to monitor the progress of their orders in real-time, receiving updates on shipping and delivery timelines. This step ensures that orders are accurately managed from start to finish, maintaining customer satisfaction and trust through timely communication and reliable logistics.
Order Confirmation and Tracking
Post-Shipment Follow-up
This process step involves conducting post-shipment follow-up to ensure timely payment from customers. The primary objective is to verify that the customer has received the shipment as per their records and confirm if they are satisfied with the delivery. The team responsible for this step will reach out to customers via phone or email, typically 3-5 days after dispatching the goods. This helps in building trust and establishing a strong rapport with clients. The follow-up process also enables the business to address any potential issues or discrepancies that may have arisen during transit, thereby maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction and service quality.
Post-Shipment Follow-up
Inventory Management
The Inventory Management process involves several key steps to ensure accurate tracking and management of products. First, a physical count is conducted to determine the current stock levels, identifying any discrepancies or missing items. Next, the system is updated with the latest inventory data, ensuring that all information is up-to-date and synchronized. This includes details such as product quantities, storage locations, and reorder points for automatic replenishment. Additionally, inventory movements are tracked to monitor any changes in stock levels due to sales, returns, or other transactions. This process helps maintain accurate records, prevent stockouts, and identify opportunities for cost reduction through efficient use of resources.
Inventory Management
Quality Control
The Quality Control process step involves reviewing and evaluating products or services to ensure they meet established standards and requirements. This stage ensures that all output from previous steps, including materials, components, and finished goods, conform to specifications and are free from defects. The goal is to identify any deviations or anomalies and take corrective actions to prevent future occurrences. Quality control personnel conduct inspections, tests, and analyses to verify product quality. Any discrepancies found during this process are documented and reported for further investigation and resolution. This step plays a critical role in maintaining customer satisfaction, preventing recalls, and upholding the organization's reputation for quality.
