Future-proofed ecommerce fulfilment

AMH Material Handling produces professional solutions which automate ecommerce tasks for efficiency, speed and accuracy. These tasks can include but are not limited to:

 

1. The management of ecommerce product storage and fulfilment

The accurate management of stored ecommerce products and fulfilment is extremely important. When implementing an automated solution, this can include providing racking and storage solutions for products as well as the warehouse management software.

Using warehouse management software increases accuracy and ensures stock levels are maintained correctly. It also allows the business to be in control of replenishment and ensure that the customer experience of purchasing online is a positive one.

 

2. Receiving goods and inventory management

In addition to current stock management, AMH can also support an automated process of receiving inbound goods and inventory management. Automating the inbound receiving process whilst supporting this with an automated transport solution allows inbound stock to be made available far quicker than before. This increases the potential of sales and helps support a shorter return on investment.

 

3. Accurate order fulfilment

AMH will work with you to produce the best order fulfilment solution for your ecommerce operation. The team is skilled at producing automated solutions using conveyor systems and sortation systems for the quick movement of orders. From the warehouse management software through to automated picking and packaging solutions and onwards destination sortation, an AMH solution increases throughput, accuracy and efficiency.

 

4. Swift returns processing

As well as order fulfilment, AMH produces automated systems to handle the processing of ecommerce returns. Depending on the operation the amount of returns can vary, but for those who need to handle large volumes, automation is essential.

During peak seasons, the volume of returns can be significantly higher within a short space of time. An automated system reduces the reliance on manual handling and allows ecommerce operations to have the flexibility to increase throughput instantly. Units can become available for resale within a shorter period of time.

 

A world that’s constantly changing

Ecommerce fulfilment is in a constant state of flux and evolving at an unprecedented rate and AMH is mindful of this when designing projects. The automated solution which will fulfil your needs tomorrow is unlikely to meet your needs in two years’ time.

Therefore, AMH takes a modular approach to ecommerce projects – not only ensuring that the system is fit for purpose but also that it can be modified or expanded on in the future. This guarantees the system can adapt to ecommerce developments as well as any changes in the company itself such as potential relocation to larger facilities.
