The convenience of cross-border cloud warehouses has enabled more and more sellers to experience the benefits of efficient and low-cost warehousing and logistics. So recently, many cross-border e-commerce sellers have been trying to find cloud warehouse service providers to cooperate in shipping, but they are not very clear about the difference between smart cloud warehouses and traditional cloud warehouses, and do not know how to choose what is beneficial for themselves.
Today Takesendship will analyze the differences between the two and help sellers make more suitable choices!
Let's first understand the warehousing management models of both:
The intelligent cloud warehouse adopts the WMS intelligent warehousing management system, which can achieve real-time monitoring and management of goods. From warehousing, outbound, to storage and transportation, every step is clear and controllable, improving the efficiency of warehousing and logistics.
Traditional cloud warehouses rely more on manpower, with manual operations by operators at every stage from receiving orders, picking, to shipping, resulting in lower efficiency. If there is a large volume of goods during peak season, the error rate may be relatively high.
Next, compare the differences between the two from four aspects: efficiency, cost, inventory, and safety.
1. Operational efficiency
Intelligent cloud warehouse uses advanced equipment instead of manual labor, which can quickly pick goods, accurately ship them, and achieve higher operational efficiency. Traditional warehousing uses manual operations, which are inefficient and prone to errors.
2. Investment cost
Choosing a traditional cloud warehouse may require sellers to bear a portion of labor costs in terms of expenses. And the labor cost of intelligent warehousing is low, and systematic management improves the effective utilization rate of the warehouse, so from a cost perspective, intelligent cloud warehousing is more cost-effective!
3. Inventory management
The intelligent cloud warehouse, through the WMS intelligent warehousing management system, can accurately record inventory status from storage to shipment, and the data is clear at a glance, making it easy for sellers to produce and sell in the future. Traditional cloud warehouses also record this situation, which greatly reduces the accuracy of manual inventory when faced with massive amounts of goods.
4. Security
The security of traditional cloud warehouses depends on the service provider's investment and attention to the warehouse, as well as the level of manual management. The intelligent cloud warehouse has a high degree of automation and provides 24-hour comprehensive monitoring and visualization services, making it relatively safer.
Overall, compared to traditional cloud warehouses, intelligent cloud warehouses are at a crushing level in terms of efficiency improvement, cost control, and inventory management. If sellers need to cooperate with professional intelligent cloud warehouses, please feel free to consult Takesendship at any time!
