  1. A paperless warehouse is a more accurate warehouse. Keeping track of every order and shipment is not an easy task. Changes occur almost every moment on the warehouse floor and if your company is still tracking order and shipments with paper or a stationary computer, those changes are most likely not going to be recorded accurately. Going paperless will ensure that your information is always accurate and up-to-date. Using mobile devices on the warehouse floor, such as our Sage 100 barcoding (formerly Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 barcoding) and Sage 500 barcoding (formerly Sage MAS 500 barcoding) devices, will help your company improve efficiency and accuracy. These handheld devices give warehouse workers instant access to update, add or lookup data from anywhere within the warehouse. With a barcode scanner or similar handheld device, the accuracy of your warehouse will increase to more than 99%. How’s that for an added benefit?
  2. A paperless warehouse management system improves visibility into the warehouse and gives employees real-time access to information. A well-run warehouse requires the tracking of items, locations and shipments. With a paper-based warehouse management system, data is tracked by hand and entered by a warehouse worker into the system. With the addition of barcoding software and a barcoding device, you will have a much more efficient way of tracking shipments and resources as they go in and out of your warehouse.The reliance on paper for tracking and shipment confirmations only leads to disorganization, wasted space, and inefficiency. Handheld devices (or barcode scanners) will increase the visibility into your warehouse so workers can see what’s happening at any moment in the warehouse.
  3. A paperless warehouse improves productivity and efficiency. It requires a lot of time and resources to maintain a paper-based warehouse. The printers, ink, and paper used on a daily basis rack up costs. The time spent dealing with paper-based records could be better spent elsewhere. With barcode scanners and barcoding software, your company could reduce or completely eliminate printer and paper costs, as well as focus your efforts on more important warehouse tasks.Handheld devices and barcoding software can also streamline warehouse processes without the added costs and inefficiencies of paper-based processes. Your warehouse throughput will increase while maintaining the same number of workers. This increase of productivity could lead to more sales and a greater chance for success.
