Deploying modern, futureproof technology is a top priority for manufacturing and warehouse facilities in the supply chain.

As supply chain associates spend most of their time receiving, picking, packing and fulfilling orders, they need access to modern, ergonomic, and reliable data capture equipment.

In order to improve these processes, businesses need to overcome the challenges that plague today’s supply chain workforce – challenges that increase the opportunity for error, lag time and downtime which can ultimately lead to frustrated associates and a bad customer experience.

Many industries are experiencing supply chain challenges from the unprecedented events of the last year; and unfortunately, our industry is also experiencing extended lead times and cost increases.  The major industry suppliers are communicating extended lead times on electronic hardware, ribbons, and labels due to component and raw material shortages and increased demand.  In some instances, these lead time notices are three (3) to nine (9) months or longer.

We encourage you to reach out and develop a mitigation plan with our experts here at Barcodes, Inc. By forecasting your supply chain needs now, we can work to secure supply and lock-in pricing for your future needs to provide you a more predictable and reliable supply chain.  Many customers are creating stocking agreements with us and we urge you to evaluate this option.

Barcodes is committed to helping you mitigate cost increases and ensuring you the high quality services and products you need to operate.  Please contact us to identify specific supply chain options, the latest pricing, alternative sources, and actions that can offset extended lead times.

Eliminating the constraints of complicated supply chain operations, direct store delivery (DSD) holds the capacity of enhancing your customer’s experience by increasing inventory availability. However, if done inadequately, your DSD system can drain profits while directing customers to shop elsewhere. To certify deliveries are completed within a timely fashion, your teams require a new level of reliable connectivity that focuses on:

• Preserving open communication channels amongst the whole supply chain
• Adapting to new challenging environments without losing functionality
• Expanding device availability to accommodate your workforce
• Meeting demands without straining budgets

As DSD operations continue to grow nationwide, Barcodes, Inc. enhances the components of a superior field service solution -reliability, connectivity, and speed.
