It\u2019s well-known in the grocery industry that the average profit margin on an order is between 1-3 percent. There are many factors that determine this margin, including competing grocery chains, store infrastructure costs, and transportation and distribution-related costs associated with receiving and shipping products. All of these are led by consumer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grocers rely heavily on a high-volume and differentiation of products. They also adopt today\u2019s latest pickup or delivery service offerings, such as Home Delivery Services or Click & Collect channels, commonly referred to as Buy Online & Pickup in Store (BOPIS<\/a>), to get food from their stores into their customers\u2019 shopping carts.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Reduce Labour Costs in the Distribution Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So why is labour and employee productivity of such concern to the grocery industry? Because it all starts in the distribution center, which represents a large opportunity for cost savings initiatives, such as process improvement through Lean strategies, process and technology improvements, and labor management systems<\/a> (LMS) programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three of these types of programs listed above have one thing in common: the distribution associates and their need for training and frequent feedback on their contributions to the overall performance of the distribution center, thereby driving down costs and increasing profit margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the biggest challenges in today\u2019s world of logistics are recruiting, onboarding, and retaining talent in order to continue to grow market share. According to Peerless Research Group\u2019s 2019 Materials Handling Technology Study, \u201conly 17% of companies have implemented a Labour Management or workforce management programme in their distribution network with 21% planning to evaluate, purchase, or upgrade in the next 24 months.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies who have successfully implemented LMS programs have experienced productivity gains on the order of 10 to 20 percent, as noted by Dan Gilmore, Editor of SupplyChainDigest,<\/em> in his popular blog on Supply Chain Solutions offering the Best Pain to Gain ratios.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
