Labor shortages in warehouses have become an increasingly critical issue for operators. The situation worsens dramatically during times of high sickness rates and seasonal peaks.
Around 80% of global warehouses still rely on manual picking. The lack of automation places significant pressure on the workforce. During peak seasons, like the holiday rush or seasonal fluctuations, this leads to bottlenecks, causing delays, increased error rates, and dissatisfied customers.
The situation becomes even more challenging when sickness levels rise. Operations slow down, driving up operational costs. Often, new orders can’t be accepted because existing capacity is already stretched to the limit. At the same time, the workload for remaining staff intensifies, leading to additional stress and more absences.
The consequences? Financial losses for operators and a heavily burdened workforce, which can result in burnout and higher employee turnover.
But there is a solution: With NEOintralogistics, the workload in existing and new shelving systems can be reduced by up to 70%. Best of all, the system can be fully operational within 6-8 weeks without disrupting ongoing operations. Thanks to the Pay-Per-Pick model, there are no upfront costs involved.
