Order processing
Order fulfilment is a long and complex process, comprising all the activities between the receipt of an order and its dispatch. The four main objectives to be achieved for efficient order fulfilment are:
- Reduce picking errors to zero.
- Optimize operators’ routes by reducing their travel time.
- Decrease the number and timing of operations.
- Maintain a balanced stock rotation, for example, by using fifo/fefo or lifo/lefo stock management methods.
Over the years, Villa & Riva has implemented and acquired procedures, tools and experienced personnel to offer maximum reliability, precision, speed and quality at every stage of preparing an order.
