East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2015 -- Pcdata USA reports that mispicks in 2016 will cost individual warehouses more than $500,000. A single mispick costs a warehouse about $22, according to a report from Intermec. Over the course of a year, that adds up to big money. DC Velocity staff reported that data a few years earlier and current data suggest $33 per mispick is more accurate. According to the results of the earlier survey conducted for Intermec, a developer of mobile data-capture solutions, a single mispick multiplied by the average number of mispicks reported in a single distribution center amount to over $500,000 annually, on average.

More than half (52 percent) of the 250 respondents reported a pick accuracy rate of less than 97 percent. On top of that, 19 percent do not measure the costs of mispicks in any way, which suggests that the impact of such errors on the supply chain may be even greater than reported. Survey respondents indicated that they consider achieving high pick accuracy rates to be key to improving profit margins. Forty-seven percent said that picking was an area where cost savings could easily be achieved. In addition, 59 percent of respondents said they were using a "perfect order" metric to gauge picking accuracy and identify areas for improvement.

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2015 -- Pcdata USA reports Jim Alemany, Director, Logistics Execution Solutions at Descartes, recently wrote for 3PL News that from large to small, leading 3PLs are deriving benefits through the active reuse of data. Data is still manually entered multiple times across a number of internal, partner and client channels and into completely separate accounting systems. Given the sheer volume of shipping information and the complexities of things like duties, taxes and security, the cost of duplicate data entry is high regardless of business niche or geography. It affects receivables, drains productive time from employees across many departments, and unmistakably funnels resources away from business growth.

Leading 3PLs are bringing shipment planning, execution, import and export document generation and back-office accounting functions together on a single platform. The ability to facilitate the collection of shipment information from multiple parties and to leverage shipment-related data to populate accounting systems helps significantly to improve accuracy and increase efficiencies. It also helps to minimize costs and effectively bill without data re-entry. Beyond this, shipment information can also be repurposed to satisfy any number of customs and security-filing related submissions. With global regulations on the rise, this is of key importance to 3PLs which operate across different divisions, geographies and borders.

From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.

As the next two weeks are the busiest weeks of the shipping year, warehouses are not ready for the holiday. According to UNEX after last year's fiasco by some retailers not being able to meet holiday delivery schedules, companies are adding technology and streamlining processes to ensure this does not happen again. Another hectic holiday shopping season arrived. Some simple solutions like Pick-to-light of the fast moving consumer goods can make all the difference, even now, just weeks before gifts are unwrapped.

It is imperative that operations with state-of-the-art processes are in place to keep up with orders and ensure customers get what they want. Whether replenishing stores or shipping direct to the consumer, distribution operations must be in high performance mode and ready to handle peak volumes. Improvements should focus on product workflow, efficiencies, storage capacity, and space utilization.

Pcdata USA Reported Impressive Growth of 3PL Mergers and Acquisitions

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2015 -- Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.

Pcdata USA noted many of the CEOs believe a wave of mergers and acquisitions will lead to defensive acquisitions by other 3PLs. According to Patrick Burnson, Executive Editor of Supply Chain Management Review, key 3PL survey findings showed only seven of the 30 CEOs reported significant M&A activity by their companies during the past year. Following the onset of the global recession in 2008 there were relatively few large-scale acquisitions in the 3PL industry. That has changed dramatically since early 2014.

There have been ten major acquisitions by 3PLs totaling $18 billion. This is leading to a significant restructuring of the industry in many markets, and will require substantial effort on behalf of those 3PLs to integrate those operations post-acquisition.

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.

Pcdata USA noted that thanks to omni-channel requirements and growing customization preferences, the warehouse is increasingly a catch-all for kitting and packaging complex orders that extend well beyond individual item or pallet delivery fulfillment. 3PLs suggest new ways to execute orders, thinking of the different stakeholders they deal with as product moves further downstream. Whether asset-based or not, a 3PL's knowledge of operational best practices within the modern warehouse and distribution centers will make clear they know how to use resources creatively to come up with new ways to deliver a stellar product.

Keeping options on the table for value-added services will make 3PL recommendations valuable, which is a gold star for customers who may struggle to advance logistics responding to varying customer requests. Value-added warehousing and distribution contributed $35.9 billion in gross revenue to the 3PL market, according to an Armstrong & Associates report, making it a key source of developing further revenue potential.

Pcdata USA Reports 3PLs Demonstrate Strategic Value

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.

Robert Carver shared in 3PL News that the latest studies show third party logistics (3PL) providers are becoming a strategic resource for distribution and logistics processes. They are assuming larger contracts, more complex projects and greater responsibility as trusted advisors to companies navigating the omni-channel landscape. There are advantages - cost savings and operational efficiencies - that stem from leveraging 3PL partnerships. As the technology gap closes between leading 3PL providers and the companies they support, collaboration will only grow.

The 3PL market is shifting, with consolidation growing and still smaller players can stay viable as competition stiffens. To reinforce value and grow business 3PLs must think bigger than projects. The real opportunity for 3PL growth is fostered by taking decisive action to expand strategic activities with customers - beyond the transactional projects that 3PLs are known to do well. According to the Annual Study on the State of Logistics Outsourcing, "Activities that are strategic, IT-intensive and customer facing tend to be outsourced to a lesser extent."

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2015 -- Picking Perfection, sponsored by Pcdata USA, brings important and interesting information to those in the material handling, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors. From best practices to industry data, this weekly communique reports on trend data, process improvement, and technology evaluations about picking, packing, shipping and profitability.

Pcdata USA shared a story from Supply Chain Brain regarding how order fulfillment reduced labor by 84% with an 8 month ROI, due in part from the use of Pick-to-light technology. Thorough data analysis companies often turn to a pick-to-tote solution. Very fast inventory accounted for under 15% of the total SKUs, but accounted for close to 50% of the total daily picks. The solution dispenses up to 4,200 orders an hour (5 items per second) with zero picking labor.

By focusing on the fastest and most labor intensive SKUs in the facility, the organization was able to reduce labor from 173 operators to 28... an 84% reduction. The ROI (return on investment) was under eight months based on labor savings alone. The floor space savings, accuracy gains order cut-off time extension was not calculated into the 8 month payback.

Pcdata USA Reported Ecommerce and 3PLs Heating Up NY-NJ Industrial Real Estate Market

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/09/2015 -- Pcdata USA noted that e-commerce and 3PLs are heating up the NY-NJ industrial real estate market. Dustin Braden, assistant web editor, for Journal of Commerce, reported that US Northeast consumers' growing appetite for e-commerce is cooking up a "red hot" industrial real estate market around the Port of New York and New Jersey - a trend great for developers and pricey for shippers, the head of an industrial real estate trade association said.

The rise of e-commerce forces shippers to carry more inventory in order to meet consumers' expectation that the products they order will be available and arrive quickly. That helped drive leasing velocity, the rate at which space is leased, in the second quarter of 2015 up 22 percent from the first quarter, said Michael G. McGuinness, CEO of NAIOP New Jersey, which represents owners, developers, and asset managers of industrial real estate.

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2015 -- Pcdata USA noted that smaller production firms can automate processes for shipping. Industry Leaders magazine recently reported when starting a new business which requires shipping of a product, the way to fulfill and assimilate shipping for the orders becomes very crucial. Author, Carrie Ann suggested new firms must consider shipping slips and package printing, as well as the different sizes of packages and boxes. Also critical is the way the firm communicates on how and when items will be delivered. If the orders are fulfilled by a 3PL, then most of this information has been sorted out already.

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2015 -- Pcdata USA noted that smart 3PLs shine in three key areas: Technology, Innovation and Collaboration. John Costanzo reported in Supply & Demand Chain Executive, that a survey of US and Canadian online consumers, revealed price can be a determining factor in just how fast a customer wants a shipment, with a majority saying they would sacrifice a speedy delivery in favor of low-cost-preferably free-shipping.

The good news is that third party providers (3PLs) are rising to the occasion, and leading the way. 3PLs are helping businesses not just adapt to the new reality of omni-channel, but to really embrace the concept as an opportunity to distinguish themselves from competitors, and to offer a superior customer experience.

East Granby, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2015 -- PickCart by Pcdata USA is an improved innovative multi-order picking solution with navigation software which rapidly reduces order assembly time in a high SKU count, low volume warehouse operation. PickCart, a highly flexible system, can be deployed as a standalone solution or combined with other picking technologies to produce the ultimate picking strategy in a multitude of environments. The high visibility display technology helps eliminate potential errors that occur using other multi-order picking methods. The hardware design is completely flexible and tailored to the required box or order size.

Antonio Rodrigues, a senior manager at Pcdata USA, based in East Granby, Connecticut, suggested, "PickCart is easy to install saving time and money because the mount is simple to screw onto the existing pick cart, the cable installation is simple, and Pick-to-light displays easily click-in-place." Designed to maximize efficiency during the picking process, the PickCart is mounted with the latest route optimization software, ensuring the lowest possible distance travelled by operators.

The most common PickCart applications include:

- Slow/medium moving SKU's order picking
- E-commerce order picking
- Multi-order picking scenarios

The Pcdata USA's PickCart has no complex menus, no difficult voice commands, no triggers to learn, no complex picking lists to decipher. This means employees start gaining efficiencies quickly, and temporary staff will take minutes to train, increasing operational flexibility. The innovative PickCart does not require high powered servers or complex network infrastructure. The necessary software can run from a standard Windows computer; using standard wireless network protocols from IT.
