Picking & Packing

Where goods need to be manually picked, there is always the potential for error or even theft of stock. Being able to control these factors protects profits.

The problem can be more prevalent in eCommerce sectors that experience a seasonal peak, that forces them to employ unknown agency labour to cope with the extra number of order picks. Pick lines handling goods that are portable, high value and resalable typically benefit from a surveillance system to prevent a culture of workplace crime developing.

Stock shrinkage is a universal problem, so where managers are not aware of it yet, it may just mean it’s happening under their nose.
