Modular, scalable Designed to drive efficiency in the warehouse Helping 1 and 3PL Providers stay competitive in a fierce market

The major benefit of LocateIT is achieving greater logistical productivity and profitability; by improving the efficiency of your existing resources, particularly time management of personnel. Using a manual or semi manual system, particularly as volumes increase become inefficient and costly leading to stock outs, time wasted in finding stock, picking inefficiencies; all of which are detrimental to customer service, profitability and possibly incurring financial penalties.

LocateIT enables you to differentiate yourself from your competitors by presenting the latest opportunities in technology to your customer, rather than having them impose it upon you. By locking them into your system, you increase their switching costs, making it more expensive and harder for them to move to another supplier. In the current climate, control of your operating systems and hence costs is vital in retaining and expanding your customer base.
