Streamline Your Workforce Management
Vocollect understands that in today's environment, operations managers must keep their distribution centers running smoothly with flat or reduced operating budgets, while still maintaining an effective and stable workforce. They must also be able to track worker performance in order to make objective personnel decisions.
Vocollect Voice Solutions can streamline your labor-management costs in many ways, including:
- Reducing on-boarding training time: Training time for Vocollect Voice is typically a few hours, compared to several days for other technologies such as RF scanning, handhelds, and paper-based methods.
- Increasing worker satisfaction: Workers are motivated by the ease of using Vocollect Voice. Businesses that use Vocollect Voice Solutions typically see a reduction in worker turnover. Workers find voice easy to learn, and satisfying to use because it enables them to be more productive.
- Enabling a distribution center to be WMS-directed versus worker-directed. Vocollect Voice prompts set the pace and routing for the worker, reducing idle time and maximizing the efficiency of each trip and every activity.
- Integrating with your WMS to track productivity as well as accuracy for each worker with Vocollect VoiceConsole. VoiceConsole has a comprehensive, statistical data-management reporting capability to track and report worker progress.
- Enabling smaller distribution centers to schedule personnel to perform multiple tasks on the same shift. For example, a worker can be scheduled to perform picking / selection at the start of the shift, and then replenishment on the second half of the shift. Tasks can also be interleaved throughout the day.
- Reducing safety issues – with a Vocollect Voice Solution, forklift and pallet-jack drivers can keep their eyes forward and their hands on the steering wheel instead of being distracted by displays and keyboards.
