Keeping your customers happy when it comes to your inventory is a delicate balance between having enough to fill orders and keeping too much and wasting money. Finding this balance can feel like a complicated guessing game, and making one wrong move can cost you.

Traditional warehouse management systems required you to manually handle long-term tracking of inventory levels, complete with complex projections and calculations. Who has time for all of that?

With warehouse management services from Cannon Hill Logistics, near Falls Church, Virginia, you benefit from our years of inventory management experience and access to high-tech software to help you make better, more informed projections for the future.

What Is a Warehouse Management System (WMS)?

A WMS is a software platform that tracks exactly how much inventory you have on-hand at any given time.

Instead of using a spreadsheet or other clunky system to track what’s coming and going from your warehouse, a WMS automatically updates your stock numbers as you receive new shipments or as customers purchase products. Sales trends are also monitored, letting you see when you sell more of a certain product and what times of year are slower for sales.

At the touch of a button, you can know how much of a product you have available, and when you need to order more. Get better control over your stocking levels, saving time and money while simultaneously keeping your customers happy.

How Can Our Warehouse Management Services Help Your Falls Church, VA, Business?

While a WMS is a powerful tool for your business, it’s also expensive to purchase and manage on your own.

If you need the data management and inventory control provided by a WMS but you can’t swing the price to take it on yourself, Cannon Hill Logistics can help. We spread out the cost of our WMS across all our clients, so you get the features and benefits you need at a fraction of the cost.

Our WMS shows you detailed information on each product, including:

  • Receipts
  • Cost
  • Sales
  • Usage
  • Profit margins

You can use this information to determine when you need to order more product, when to ramp up your marketing on something that’s not selling well, or when to do away with an unsuccessful, costly product line.

In addition to all the benefits of our WMS, Cannon Hill Logistics provides a variety of logistics and product distribution services that can help you build your business, including:

  • Physical inventory counts
  • Quality control & inspection of received goods
  • Value-added services, such as packaging or labeling
  • Kitting
