Most 3PLs have had their lives, and businesses turned upside down after the COVID-19 outbreak. Teams have had to battle through challenges at work and in their personal lives, with daily routines disrupted from childcare/school closings.
For many, putting the health and safety of employees first was mission #1. Many 3PLs choose to have non-warehouse staff protected by working from home.
Although this change was uncharted territory, many businesses have successfully navigated this transition by relying on cloud-based technologies. So successfully, their clients probably did not notice a change in their level of support.
If you’re struggling to stay connected with on-premise systems or older technology, you might be experiencing a more painful transition. A transition that could be costing you time, money, and clients.
Stop sweating and counting down the days till things are back to business as usual. There is a solution that enables your remote team members to maintain full visibility and control as if they were on-site.
Working from outside the warehouse?!?
Yes, go ahead, #WFH, it’s possible with the right technology.
A fulfillment operation is complicated! On any given day, you’re looking up an order status, calculating billing, or helping a new customer.
In the fast-paced world of e-commerce fulfillment, real-time access is key. When you need critical information fast, you don’t have time to hold on a phone call or wait for email replies.
By updating your technology to a SaaS OMS/WMS, you can rely on your solution to give you everything you need to do your job remotely. All of your business data is available for your team to access from anywhere (and at anytime!).
If you’re the point person when client’s demand answers or things go wrong, upgrading your technology will make your life a lot easier. VeraCore SaaS customers benefit from:
