Streamlining Tire Warehouse Management - ScanFlow

 A tire warehouse typically faces several challenges, including:

• Inventory Management: Managing a wide range of tire types, sizes, and brands efficiently.
• Order Accuracy: Ensuring that the correct tires are picked and packed for customer orders to avoid costly mistakes.
• Operational Efficiency: Reducing labor costs and increasing overall warehouse productivity.
• Customer Satisfaction: Meeting customer expectations by delivering tires quickly and accurately.

The Pick & Pack Process:

When the orders are received from the vendor they are processed and verified, ensuring accuracy and completeness. The tires are organized by size, brand, and type to facilitate easy retrieval. Scanflow integrated with warehouse management system keeps track of tire stock levels in real time. The warehouse workers use smart devices to scan tires to locate and pick the required tires. The system ensures that the correct tire sizes and quantities are selected.

After picking, there is a verification step where the staff cross-checks the picked items against the order details to ensure accuracy. Tires are carefully packed into appropriate packaging, which may include tire bags or boxes. Labels with shipping information, including the recipient’s address and tracking number, are generated and affixed to the packages.

A quality control check may be performed to inspect the packed tires for any visible defects before shipping. Once the tires are packed and quality checked, they are ready for shipping. The warehouse management system generates shipping labels and communicates with logistics providers to schedule pickups, deliveries or return orders.

Scanflow automates the return process when the tires arrive at the warehouse, workers inspect the item for damage, review the reason for return, and scans it back into the WMS. When the tires are not damaged or expired, they are returned back to the shelf to be picked for another order.
