We view inventory management services as a critical success factor for both AMS and our clients because both parties need down-to-the-unit accuracy by location to drive efficiency in operations and ship orders On-Time In-Full (OTIF) to customers. With so much riding on clean and accurate inventory management, AMS invests heavily in people, processes, and inventory management systems technology to ensure we’re firing on all cylinders in fulfillment operations with precise and timely execution every day for our clients.
At AMS we’re providing this warehouse inventory management every day! AMS provides inventory management solutions for a wide variety of industries, including beauty fulfillment, cosmetics fulfillment, apparel fulfillment, consumer goods, and much more.
Our operations associates follow strict procedures with systemic checks and balances for receiving, putting away, pulling orders, pick location replenishment, inventory bin moves, and ongoing accuracy control of on-hand inventory (including system-driven cycle counts). Every building we operate employs a dedicated inventory management team to maintain complete control and accuracy.
Our operational methodology allows us to eliminate inventory data corruption simply by following the rules of our inventory management systems technology. In most cases, bogus inventory comes from circumventing the system. At AMS, we never circumvent the system. Instead, we follow the rules and processes that are central to inventory management: We research issues as they are encountered by highly skilled and trained inventory management personnel and make both physical and systemic adjustments within the warehouse and the inventory management system to reflect accurate numbers by location.
When it comes to inventory accuracy at AMS, we believe the only thing that is more important than people, processes, and technology is Passion and Commitment… it’s easy to cut corners, but all parties pay the price in the long run when you do!
Accurate and efficient receiving of products is the first step in carrying a clean inventory… and our mutual success in warehousing operations depends on knowing exactly what SKUs are on hand by location and in what quantity. At AMS, we invest in systems, fulfillment processes, and people in Receiving and Inventory Management to ensure accuracy right from the start.
In a typical integration with our clients, our systems talk to each other (so to speak), so AMS knows what is headed our way with inbound purchase orders (POs). AMS uses scanning whenever possible to validate the receipt of goods by SKU, sorts products by SKU, and performs both systemic and physical put-away of goods into client-specific locations… following set processes that ensure we meet client needs such as lot number and expiry tracking when required.
Many clients require first in first out (FIFO) or first expiry first out (FEFO) as a part of warehousing and fulfillment services, and at AMS, our systems and processes tackle this tall task, making the challenge very manageable for our inventory management and receiving Teams.
Our clients’ businesses depend on AMS to receive products quickly and accurately, report back exactly what came in, and accurately manage inventory storage on an ongoing basis. We understand the vital task of managing and securing inventory on behalf of our clients, and at AMS, your inventory is in great hands!
Inventory management can be complex, particularly as a company grows, order channels expand, and the number of unique stock items increases.
