Pivot! Pivot!! Warehouses are filled with “PIVOT” during every new shipment that arrives! Labors are running across every aisle and rack to fill the fullest with every SKU & package! Wait, “Fill”? Let’s move on to the serious discussion: are you “filling” your space or “arranging” your space? If you are filling your warehouse shelves instead of arranging them according to their definite SKU ID and size, then you are not just missing out on valuable space but also a lot more revenue. But there is still a chance to recover those revenues and improve your warehouse cubic fill rate by up to 15%! That's where vMeasure | Parcel & Pallet Dimensioners comes in! With this, you can get real-time dimensional data on every SKU and packages that comes in, allowing you to plan your warehouse space dynamically. Thereby, you can identify the wasted space and increase efficiency instead of running around screaming, “PIVOT!" #logistics #supplychainmanagement #warehouses

Purchasing can make you be a beggar...a beggar that's desperate all the time ..a beggar that Beggs on behalf of others just so the company can benefit at the end of it all...a beggar that gains absolutely nothing from the desperation they display with suppliers when negotiating for shorter lead times and better payment terms.... Lord knows we negotiate as if we are buying for ourselves....But do we get the grace we deserve? #purchasing #procurement

One thing that is lost in this world is actually Listening. 🙉 🤐 A scripture that always sticks out to me is, "Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak." - James 1:19 Don't misunderstand me, often times I still find myself cutting someone off and not actively listening but everyday I'm on a journey to listen more. On a cold call today, I mentioned to a gentleman that I work for a Christian based company. I must say that his response was a first for me.... The shipper felt I was using Christianity as a sales tactic. This could not be further from the truth. I know that when I speak to someone who has already received 15 other calls prior to mine, time is of the essence. So, I strategically choose to let you know one thing about who I am. I'm certain that this has alienated me before with those who do not believe the same. Trust me I've felt it. All of which is no issue for me. Anywho, the prospect went into his spill, gave an opinion, and hung up. At this point I called back, asking for 10 seconds just to explain how he misrepresented me (the potential business was no longer a factor for me). After calling back, he went on and on again, not allowing me a chance to speak and hung up again. Sure, many people claim many things that they don't believe in. Even a friend of mine who claimed "Christianity" admitted that he was a "bad Christian" and that he really shouldn't identify as one. All of this came from his own self examination. So when I mention my beliefs to anyone, it is to simply let you know what type of person you are dealing with, one that is serious about what he says and not willing to change for money or fame. I mean business in everything that I do and I WILL uphold what God says in the process. I'm against lying to you or for you, I will not get drunk with you. I will not curse you out because I'm angry. I do not believe in sacrificing my morals. With that said, you do NOT have to live like me for me to do business with you or even be friends. God is love. There should be no hatred for other groups, ethnicities, races, political parties, religions etc. From the presidential debate to whether or not we should cold call someones cell phone, to TQL hatred, contentions sadly are everywhere! Let's learn to have an opinion all while being willing to LISTEN to one another. We are only hurting ourselves, hindering our own growth and development. #Preacher #Logistics #Freight #SupplyChainManagement #Listen #ChristianBased #Love

When I started in the hay export business one of my biggest challenges was crappy packaging. I was the under dog with old used equipment that was headed to the scrap yard. It’s all I could afford. I remember one of my customers saying “You have good products with the worst packaging”. The year was 2012. The month April. This morning I woke up grateful realizing it’s been 14 years already. I’m grateful for having good equipment, awesome employees, customers and farmers. Everyone has to win for business to be successful. Last week one of my customers stopped in and we took a stroll through the press barns. For my customer to win our packaging must be perfect. Pressed bales need to be square, the straps on straight. Stretch wrap must tight with proper overlap on the packages. Packages in the containers must have plenty of room on the side of the containers for unloading. And if they are to tall they won’t unload either. If packaging isn’t just right it’s a disaster while unloading and stacking in the warehouses. As I walked out into the press facility with my customer. It’s such a relief having no worries once we hit the floor turning the corner as the customer is waiting to see the quality. Last week I got the thumbs up 👍 perfect!!! That was SUCCESS. If you are starting a business remember you are the underdog and everyone started somewhere. Think big and make moves when it’s getting uncomfortable it’s just about to get good. Enjoy the journey it’s frustrating you will want to quit but it’s worth it in the long run. I know it doesn’t seem like it but it is. #boundshay #farm #agriculture #shipping

In many workplaces, you'll find forklifts, order pickers, and motorized pallet jacks, which are all types of powered industrial trucks. While they may appear innocuous and simple to use, operating them requires proper certification. Even when empty, a typical forklift weighs three to four times more than a standard car and operates with a different center of gravity, making their handling distinct from that of automobiles. Remember, #staffmarksafety and #safetyfirst are paramount, ensuring #tullahomasafejobs for everyone.
