The selection of appropriate equipment and support systems is complicated due to the diverse nature of product offerings, with widely differing equipment solutions often apparently performing the same or similar tasks.

Order picking is highly labour intensive, and whilst efficiencies are achieved by the correct choice of equipment, these can only be fully realised if the correct support systems are in place. These operating and support systems must be devised to minimise travel and maximise productive picking time.  This places greater reliance on the choice of warehouse management system.

The process of tender preparation and shortlisting is then a laborious and time-consuming exercise and demands in depth product knowledge.

A detailed evaluation of the task and specific product knowledge allows Logistics Solutions
to select and shortlist only the most suitable suppliers minimising the timetable to completion.  The consequences of the wrong choice are long lasting and it is therefore essential to select with confidence based on experience.

* Maximised productivity
