eWarehousing
The future of Warehouse
By Rose Salas

TP 201907 e biz 03A warehouse plays a very significant role in the world of business for decades. Every day countless activities are happening in a warehouse that is vital in a supply chain. Manual operation is the main activity, where the labor force does a big percentage and the bulk of work. Nowadays, the drop shipping and online shopping industry take advantage of warehousing.
 

Warehousing is typically the process of putting or storing goods in a warehouse for business purposes. Almost every manufacturer, wholesaler, importer or an exporter uses a warehouse. The products that are stored are for distribution sooner or later. On the other hand, a distribution centre is where goods are stored, but at the same time, orders are fulfilled for the customers.
 

仓库在商业世界中扮演着非常重要的角色。仓储通常是出于商业目的将货物放入或存储在仓库中的过程。几乎每个制造商,批发商,进口商或出口商都使用仓库。一方面,配送中心是存储货物的地方,但同时也为客户完成订单,传统仓库人工操作在其中占主要活动。

TP 201907 e biz 05As previously mentioned, online mobile shopping is taking the lead in today’s modern shopping. Online sellers connect and collaborate with different suppliers for their stocks and items to sell. After some time of establishing the business, a seller needs to lease a space in a warehouse to get the daily orders going continuously. In a warehouse that also serves as a distribution centre, a lessee stores goods, as well as fulfilling customer’s orders using a system that can monitor, make inventories, and ship orders to their customers.
 

现在在线购物在现代购物中处于领先地位。在线卖家与不同的供应商联系并协作他们的库存和物品进行销售。
 

For E-commerce, e-warehousing is a big, big help. Sellers do not have to worry about providing their storage area and maintaining manual inventories. Sales can be very unpredictable, but during the peak of seasonal holidays, where sales go higher than expected, online sellers are cramming to have their orders fulfilled and want all transactions to go smoothly. Let’s tackle the role of an e-warehouse and why it benefits the online industry:
 

对于电子商务而言,电子仓库是一项重大的帮助。卖家不必担心提供存储区域和维护手动库存。让我们来了解电子仓库的角色以及为什么它对电子商务有利:
 

01. Convenient and safe storage for products from manufacturers.

Webstores get stocks from manufacturers and suppliers abroad. E-warehouse makes it easier and convenient, because leasing space can solve multiple issues and increase efficiency in the business operation. It can lessen the burden by minimizing the shipping time, operational cost, and returns the procedure process.

网站商店从国外的制造商和供应商那里获得库存。电子仓库使其更加便捷,它可以通过最小化运输时间,运营成本和返回程序过程来减轻负担。
 

02. Technology-based inventory makes it easy to track and take control of stocks.

A specialized system and e-warehouse software are available for the stock management of the products. You can choose to use a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that can support the primary functions needed to fulfil orders for E-commerce shops and provide systematic logistic process. It should cover the procedures beginning from the receiving, organizing, and storekeeping of goods, order picking, shipping, inventory, and returns.

可以使用专门的系统和电子仓库软件进行产品的库存管理。您可以选择使用仓库管理系统(WMS),该系统可以支持履行电子商务商店订单所需的主要功能,并提供系统的从接收,存储,订单分拣,运输到退货到物流全过程。
 

03. Offers flexibility to small or big scale shops to keep up with the demands.

Whether it’s just a budding business or a growing or established one, an e-warehouse is very flexible for all stores’ strategies. For example, during the high peak or holiday season, when the business becomes chaotic, a warehouse is designed to integrate with different order fulfilment systems to have fast, fair, and orderly shipping of products. It aims to ensure that the demands are met, though the owner is not physically present to see what’s going on or manage the complexity of product variations effectively.

电子仓库非常灵活,适用于所有商店的战略。例如,在业务变得混乱的高峰期或假日期间,仓库被设计为与不同的订单履行系统集成,以便快速,公平和有序地运输产品,确保满足需求。
 

In essence, Ecommerce did not only change the way people shop in this Internet age, but also changed the way a warehouse do business. Due to the decline in sales in brick-and-mortar stores, millions of online purchases are happening every day, both locally and internationally. The traditional business models are now shifting to technologically-advanced, fast-phased structures and models. E-warehousing is now playing a vital role in this business cycle and will continue to innovate.

TP 201907 e biz 02从本质上讲,电子商务不仅改变了人们在这个互联网时代购物的方式,而且改变了仓库经营的方式。电子仓库现在在这个商业周期中发挥着至关重要的作用,并将继续创新。
 

To succeed, it must adapt to the mobile shopping experience and abate delays or errors. Additionally, it should be accessible to a huge labour supply and must be located near the parcel hubs. Alibaba, known as the online giant, now builds its logistic networks. The primary purpose is to make the operation seamless by quicker order fulfilment and distribution.
 

要取得成功,它必须适应移动购物体验并减少延迟或错误。

TP 201907 e biz 07In the coming years, E-warehousing will be accommodating more advanced technology like a cloud-based computing software. With this system, all store updates are done continuously without interrupting business operation. At the moment, employees of the warehouse should be knowledgeable about the Standard Operating Procedures, so it will minimize flaws, while targeting a complete and efficient supply chain execution.
 

在未来几年,电子仓库将适应更先进的技术,如基于云的计算软件。

TP 201907 e biz 09The model above is an example of a WMS Cloud that incorporates all the elements of a modern e-warehousing. The integration of this software into a webstore’s operation will push efficiency and proper handling of the products from the first up to the last step; creating more output by lowering and total elimination of labour incompetence. Once this is achieved, the shipping process will also improve significantly. The massive growth of E-commerce business will continue to soar high, offering more opportunities for logistic providers, the creation of bigger warehouses, and organized distribution centres. The future of e-warehousing is now part of the bigger picture!
 

上面的模型是WMS Cloud的一个示例,它包含现代电子仓库的所有元素。将该软件集成到网店的操作中将推动产品从第一步到最后一步的效率和正确处理; 通过降低和彻底消除劳动力不足来创造更多产出。一旦实现这一目标,运输过程也将显着改善。电子商务业务的大规模增长将继续飙升,为物流供应商提供更多机会,建立更大的仓库和有组织的配送中心。电子仓储的未来现在已成为更大局势的一部分!
