Warehouse managers have a lot on their plate. Maintaining safety requirements with warehouse efficiency adds up to a delicate balance of numbers, products, and the people that make the warehouse more than just a building. Key performance indicators (KPIs) keep track of the effectiveness of the multiple moving parts within each warehouse. KPI tracking provides companies with actionable analytics to guide future expansion, minimize costs and give employees a goal to reach company-wide. 

Warehousing logistics and port drayage management are critical for smooth shipping and transportation services. Transportation capacity challenges have caused many companies to struggle with securing enough truck, ship, and aircraft space to accommodate higher consumer demand. According to GlobeNewswire, transportation and warehouse capacity likely will stay in high demand as e-commerce trends continue to drive market capacity. This tight capacity is expected to keep warehousing utilization and prices high until a way to increase capacity and availability emerges. This causes backlogs and warehousing logistic nightmares as inventory loads sit waiting to be shipped.  Managing goods and organizing inventory should not cause stress, and 2022 doesn't have to go the same way as 2020 and 2021. Let’s consider why and how technology and the right partner for drayage, warehousing, and truckload brokerage can boost overall logistics optimization for 2022.
