Whether you are setting up a new warehouse or want to optimize your current workflow, a good labeling system is indispensable for efficient inventory management. Warehouse Labels<\/a> provide structure, overview and speed. But how do you tackle the switch to a new labeling system without affecting your daily logistics processes in your warehouse? In this blog post we tell you all about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first: when do you need a new labeling system?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reasons for revamping a labeling system vary. Perhaps your warehouse has grown, the layout has changed, or your current system no longer connects with your inventory management or WMS. In such cases, it is time to switch to a system that is ready for the future: flexible, sustainable and tailored to your processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadmap for successful implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Map the current situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you change anything, it is important to analyze how your current system functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. What labels are you using now (format, material, coding)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What are employees running into?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What are the desires for improvement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. What software or hardware (scanners, printers) do you use?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This analysis forms the basis for your new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Set goals and requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    What do you want to achieve with the new labeling system? Consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Being able to order faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Fewer errors in storage and shipping<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Better overview in product locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Integration with WMS or ERP<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      In addition, establish technical requirements such as barcode sizes, dimensions and attachment methods (e.g., magnetic, self-adhesive or insert cards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Choose the right type of label<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Based on your goals, choose the most appropriate warehouse label. Examples of warehouse labels are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
