Increasing employee productivity with supply chain management software solutions

Axes Software » Increasing employee productivity with supply chain management software solutions

An important goal for any company is to increase employee productivity. Managers focus on the “work smarter, not harder” principle and are looking for different ways to streamline the tasks involved in their company’s daily work, whether it is mass production, production to order, warehousing, transport or delivery of goods. Establishing the key performance indicators (KPIs) helps to identify optimal methods of organizational improvement, which is why digitalization in logistics and the use of innovative technologies represent one of the solutions.

Human resources are vital to the success of an organization. For this reason, one of the ultimate goals of managing them is to increase employee productivity. Here are the best software solutions you can use in supply chain management to make the most of each employee’s professional skills and job functions.

Plan production intelligently with xTrack MES for more productive employees

The xTrack MES application deployed on production workflows ensures order planning and product traceability by scanning codes directly from production lines. Production automation makes it easier for employees to work and allows managers to track the connection between incoming raw materials and finished products, and efficiently coordinate activities. This ensures a higher level of quality in production management.

By using the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) solution, Axes Software customers benefit from reduced consumption for executed production orders, increased worker and machine productivity, and the complete elimination of printed documents.

Manage warehouses efficiently with xTrack WMS: double the delivery capacity using the same number of employees

Employee productivity increases significantly by fully automating warehouse flows. With xTrack WMS, order processing times are reduced, so the number of orders processed and delivered daily is increased. Inventory in the warehouse is made faster and delivery errors decrease significantly.

Implementing a WMS system lays the foundation for the professionalization of the employees directly involved in warehouse activities. Productivity is increased by organizing warehouses according to performance criteria.

With WMS (Warehouse Management System) applications you will benefit from doubling deliveries while using the same human and material resources, as the daily processing capacity of the order lines increases.

Efficiently organize distribution, courier deliveries and logistics with xTrack TMS: reduce driver working time

The xTrack TMS system helps increase employee productivity on several levels: by improving the distribution route planning process, increasing driver efficiency and reducing transport costs. In addition, it comes with an intuitive and efficient system that ensures transport logistics management by optimizing deliveries, from planning and loading to distribution of goods and transport monitoring.

By implementing a TMS (Transport Management System), you’ll be able to send fewer trucks out into the field, as well as reduce the distances travelled and the working time per driver. You can plan dozens or hundreds of trips daily and have an ETA (Estimated Arrival Time) of +/- 2 minutes on arrival at any warehouse or customer in the country.

What’s more, Axes Software also automates your yard activities with YMS systems that also efficiently control check-in and check-out operations (gate management) so employees receive and communicate information quickly, without errors, and avoid bottlenecks or overlapping activities.

Optimize deliveries with xTrack POD  – flexibility, integrability, efficiency for drivers and couriers

In addition to xTrack TMS, we recommend xTrack POD, which provides full control over deliveries with a minimum of effort for delivery drivers. Thus, delivery trips to stores and end customers, including on milk run and last mile routes, are monitored through the application and all activities are reported as soon as they are completed on the ground so that optimal logistical efficiency conditions are met and sales maximization targets are achieved.

POD (Proof of Delivery) applications simplify for drivers the reporting system to managers coordinating product deliveries. They can view real-time trip data (driver, vehicle, route, customer locations, planned delivery schedule, etc.) both centralized and in detail to see if deliveries are being made and if agreed times are being met.

Drivers use xTrack POD on their mobile phone to send and receive the necessary information. Reporting the completion of each delivery activity is thus simple and efficient: they confirm the delivery of goods, cash collection or breaks on the route, send photos of new locations or different documents they receive/give, or cancel delivery orders if they are so informed by customers after they have already set out on their trip. In other words, drivers can access data about the delivery trip they are on and send data from the field to managers and coordinators.

By optimizing routes and reducing the margin of error in estimating delivery times, streamlining data collection and ensuring rapid communication between the managers and drivers on the ground, the application helps the latter become more productive.

Manage returnable packaging with xTrack PMS

xTrack PMS (Packaging Management System) is a software solution designed for companies that use a large amount of returnable packaging and want to avoid incurring financial “minuses” due to the loss of a portion of it.

By opting for such an application, you will always have a clear record of returned packaging, non-returned packaging but justified by vouchers, and where it is located. You’ll know what packaging you have and where it is, and you’ll be able to do “ownership exchanges“ to avoid unnecessary transport of some packaging to warehouses where there is already packaging of the same type available for immediate use. And you’ll quickly find out what type and how much packaging needs to be compensated because it has been lost or damaged, or how much it costs to buy more if it can’t be replaced with existing stock.
