Flexible Garment Warehousing
Warehousing in general needs to be flexible and competitive in today´s climate to meet the requirements of the successful lean retailer. Processing and warehousing specifically for the garment trade is even more complex and demanding. Providing a complete service for the fashion industry means much more than receive, pick and pack, and despatch.
The garment processing service needs to provide a solution to every eventuality, from which of the many methods of pressing to use for each specific garment, to how to record the stock to style, colour and size detail, which many warehouse management systems (WMS) cannot handle. All the expertise is available at Euro Pressing Services.
Storage of garments is a prime example of complexity. They can be stored hanging or boxed and may need to be picked in bulk or to store. Picking to store will require a pick face that is easily accessible, which means lower shelving for boxes and lower garment rails for the hanging stock.
Flexible garment racking is key to adapting to the varied stock mix, which may change from season to season and even from style to style. The ideal racking can be erected and dismantled safely, efficiently and promptly, adapting whole areas from pallet storage to hanging racking in hours not days.
The garment racking used at Euro Pressing Services is not only easily put up and taken down but also converts in minutes to shelving. The height of rails and shelves is adjustable in minutes too, making it completely adaptable to any warehousing requirement. Thereby proving their agility in speed and ability to switch from hanging to boxed stock and from bulk to store picking or any combination whenever the need arises.
The stock management system is able to record all the stock to the level of detail demanded in the clothing trade. It is a bespoke warehouse management system tailored specifically for all picking types including the just in time and picks to store requirements of the successful clothing retailer. The WMS is complemented by the EDI facilities used by the major retailers to convey their orders quickly and accurately. The EDI software also enables despatch labels and manifests to be produced efficiently, completing the whole operation professionally.
