Better use of available warehouse space
“Adding the Indigo WMS software means we have the ability to efficiently track the movement of goods throughout the business, so helping us make better use of available space in the warehouse, process stock and sales orders more quickly and generally prepare ourselves for further growth in shipping volumes in the future.”
Keryn Clarke, Director of Operations, Barrus
Improving warehouse efficiencies
Barrus invested in the Indigo WMS warehouse management software to automate its previously paper-based warehouse processes. The sheer diversity of Barrus’ business interests means the warehouse is equally busy whatever the time of year and finding ways to improve efficiencies is a key part of the company’s growth strategy.
