Buddy the Bull is DCSC’s beloved fictional character who means well but causes all sorts of havoc if you let him run loose in your distribution or manufacturing operations. Our goal is to help you find your Buddy Bull and remove him from your operations. Do you have a Buddy Bull in your warehouse?
1.) Buddy the Bull loves to hide or misplace your paperwork.
You know the very important paperwork you use for picking, receiving, work order scheduling, inventory counts and more sometimes just disappears. This can cause all sorts of operational issues. It can make you pick products you don’t need. It can cause very deadly delays in shipping products to your important customers. It can cause you to duplicate efforts and even purchase or make products you don’t need. By using DCWarehouse a real-time wireless solution you can actually eliminate all of your paper processes if you choose too. All fulfillment and inventory activities can be handled with wireless devices that clearly instruct your team members what to do and how to do it.
2.) Buddy the Bull loves to make you use a paper and pen for your very important activities.
He giggles with glee when you have to then input this into your ERP system at a later point in time. By using DCWarehouse you are handling all of the activities in real-time by scanning or using simple function keys. Due to the fact time lapses and things change a paper-driven system is not fool proof. Plus it takes extra time. By scanning barcodes and using the wireless devices during your processes, you are capable of keeping a completely accurate and clean inventory system that helps everyone (purchasing, warehousing, sales and customer service.) OK, it may not help Buddy but we have a plan for him.
3.) Buddy the Bull absolutely loves it when you have to work over-time performing things such as an annual inventory.
He snickers in enjoyment when he sees your team working on a beautiful sunny weekend writing information on counts sheets and count cards. DCWarehouse allows you to cycle count your inventory throughout the year with wireless scanning devices that updates your system in real-time. If you must perform an annual inventory our solution can save you up to 75% more time because again, you are using a scanning device to help input the information rather than all the manual processes that take time.
4.) Buddy the Bull loves it when you have to re-key shipping information to another system.
He also loves it when you have to work really hard to try and get information quickly to your customers, warehouses or vendors. DCWarehouse eliminates shipping issues because, once again, all order and fulfillment information is on one system. It eliminates the need to rekey information into a separate shipping solution. Plus with our package inquiries you can communicate to your clients in real-time about their tracking and more.
So what do you do with Buddy the Bull? You simply remove him from your warehouse. He’s not an evil bull, he is just mischievous with misguided energy. Simply keep him out of your warehouse and you should be fine. He loves skiing, eating, drinking, hiking, tweeting, blogging, vacationing and much more.
