Reception, storage, picking, dispatch… The warehouse is in full swing every day. And everything has to be under control: time, flow, stock, quality. A single mistake and the whole chain slows down. Without optimised organisation, chaos can quickly ensue. How can you keep things running smoothly and efficiently? Take a look at a day in the life of a warehouse.
The different stages of a day in the warehouse
06 :15 am 🕔 Start of the day and goods receipts
The trucks arrive at dawn. Teams unload, scan and check each pallet to make sure it matches the order.
❌ A common problem. Manually checking each reference takes time and increases the risk of errors.
✅ With a WMS like Satelix Logistics. A simple scan automatically registers products in stock, reducing inventory discrepancies and speeding up receiving.
08 :15 am 🕘 Storage and organisation, a key stage in the warehouse
Teams store goods in the right places. Optimised organisation facilitates picking and reduces unnecessary movements.
❌ A common problem. Lack of strategy makes it difficult to locate products and slows down order picking.
✅ With Satelix Logistics. The software allocates optimal locations according to picking frequency and item volume. Every product remains accessible in a matter of seconds.
11 :15 am 🕚 Order picking, a key moment in the warehouse
The first orders arrive. The pickers collect the items, pack them and send them off.
❌ A common problem. Operators spend too much time looking for products and risk making picking errors.
✅ With Satelix Logistics. The WMS guides pickers with an optimised route. Result: fewer trips, faster picking and zero errors thanks to validation scanning.
2 :30 pm 🕞 Checking and packing to ensure the safety of every shipment
Our teams check every order before it is dispatched. Rigorous preparation guarantees compliant delivery.
❌ A common problem. A poorly prepared or labelled parcel leads to delays and customer returns.
✅ With Satelix Logistics. The WMS checks each parcel before dispatch. It automatically generates carrier labels and ensures full traceability.
4 :30 pm 🕓 Shipping, the last storage of a day in the warehouse
Parcels are loaded onto trucks according to their destination and priority. Every movement is recorded in real time to ensure accurate tracking.
❌ Common problem. Lack of control before dispatch leads to delivery errors and uncontrolled delays.
✅ With Satelix Logistics. A final scan validates each shipment, guaranteeing reliable tracking and error-free delivery.
