Q. How can SwiftPic help me mitigate inventory shrinkage and returns?
A. With vastly improved accuracy, both inventory shrinkage and returns are reduced. Aside from saving the costs of lost inventory when incorrect items are shipped to a customer, the costs of incorrect shipments creates extra picking, shipping cartons, shipping charges (often to and from the customer), recondition returned inventory to resale condition, and replacement to inventory. The biggest cost may be harder to measure; incorrect shipments can cause high levels of customer dissatisfaction and even permanent loss of customers. No matter how it’s measured, the cost picking errors undetected prior to shipping is high; in many facilities the cost of picking errors exceeds the cost of picking labor. With SwiftPic’s proven high accuracy, picking errors are practically eliminated.
