What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role as the CEO/Owner, I am highly focused on budget, revenue per square foot, labor utilization efficiency, ROI and the growth and expansion of warehousing footprints.

We consistently have issues in efficiently and accurately onboarding new brands, adhering to SLAs, maximizing profits, as well as having accurate, timely visibility of onboarding efficiency, labor management, and gaps in the functionality of our operations.

As we want our company to grow, we realize we are moving into the future of production on demand, not merely storing goods.  We will require operational infrastructure, revenue and data capture to provide more visibility into the organization and its operations.  This will enable us to make more informed decisions to grow our business.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

For the CEO/Owner, Datex Footprint WMS is a brand differentiator and growth engine.  It helps enable companies to accelerate market expansion.  It’s a capability differentiator in sales meetings and provides visibility and insights you need to identify so you can pursue the most profitable customers.

What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role as CFO, I am highly focused on ROI and must have data to support it.  It is critical that I have data in a palatable form so that I can make informed decisions regarding ROI, revenue, and profit margin.

In my position, I need a robust warehouse management system that integrates information on revenue capture, labor efficiency and management, flexibility and customization for brand onboarding and compliance within budget.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role, I am responsible for the IT infrastructure, software functionality and capabilities, security, and ecosystem scalability.  For the IT team, having systems that necessitate a massive team lift create hesitancy to change.  Our IT infrastructure can be challenging.  Using an on-premise WMS that is subject to latency from increased volume throughput demand requires costly hardware upgrades.  

We must have security compliance, scalability, dependability, redundancy, and have the capability to integrate and configure our WMS to meet our needs and that of our customers in order to support daily operations.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

Datex Footprint WMS is a strategic technology upgrade.  It’s a next generation platform that delivers new levels of flexibility, scalability, and adaptability, wrapped in the highest security, and it’s built for accelerated execution.

What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role as VP/SVP of Operations, I act as the go-between between executive leadership, IT, and day-to-day warehouse operations, which lives and dies by labor, both short- and long- term needs.  Operations must ensure the delivery of SLAs for each brand.

To properly manage the workforce, the operations team must have visibility. The labor force, end-to-end order processing, and volume throughput of the warehouse operations must be visible to meet demand. Product order, inbound shipping logistics, packing and repacking, processing transactions and scheduling outbound logistics present a minefield of operational hazards.  It is imperative that the company use a WMS that is easy to operate as well as to onboard employees while remaining compliant with brand SLAs.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

For this key position, Datex Footprint WMS is a control center that ensures tall orders are met.  It empowers the team to navigate transportation and labor challenges, operational forecasting, and sales force collaboration.  It builds clarity around the big picture of a company’s health and is key to delivering results that sales teams, company leadership, and customers demand.

What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role as Director of Operations, I manage the daily operations of the warehouse production team. This includes orders in, moving product, repacking, wrapping pallets, printing labels, loading trucks, and so much more.  

Operations team members are often frustrated by wasted space on WMS screens as this can cause work arounds to operate delivering on the brand SLAs.  As the team leader of operations, this role prefers simplicity and the ability to have WMS adapt to our current operational workflow and requirements.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

For the Director of Operations, Datex Footprint WMS boosts performance. It allows the operations team to accelerate onboarding, quantify internal performance metrics, reward top performers, eliminate inefficiencies, and offer value-added services while maintaining customer loyalty and trust through improved operations. 

What Challenges Keep Me Up at Night?

In my role as Director of IT, I am responsible for challenges involving the integration of brands, current changes to operational workflows and data security.  In addition, in my position I am tasked with the critical need of data capture to provide accurate and insightful data including profit margin, labor, and revenue reporting.

These efforts may be hampered by current legacy systems in hardware latency, lack of functionality, and customization of software.

How Can Datex Help Me in My Role?

For the Director of IT, Datex Footprint WMS is a development powerhouse.  It enables us to react more nimbly to customer demands and can facilitate the creation of efficient data flows, so that we can onboard profitable brands to fast track the growth of the company.
