What are the Duties of a Pharmaceutical Warehouse Management System?

 To ensure that its products are reliably tracked, kept, and dispatched, the pharmaceutical business relies on a network of warehouses or distribution centers. Unloading and unpacking boxes, checking incoming commodities against invoices, maintaining records, and operating equipment are just a few of the responsibilities of the Pharma Warehouse Management staff. In this blog, you will learn about the duties and responsibilities of a warehouse system.

 

Duties of a Warehouse System

➢     Boxes to be unloaded

Manufacturers send product shipments to pharmaceutical warehouses on a regular basis. Workers in warehouses are responsible for greeting delivery vehicles, unloading boxes, and moving them to secure storage areas. This could include performing quality control checks to ensure that products meet specifications and comparing receiving items to invoices to ensure that the correct product was delivered.

➢     Keeping Track of Records

Workers keep track of the products they receive and ship. Serial numbers, the manufacturer's name, and the time and date the package was received must all be precisely recorded. 

➢     Order fulfillment

To pull and complete orders from pharmacies and hospitals, warehouse staff connect with clerks. 

➢     Equipment Utilization

The warehouse staff is responsible for operating forklifts, hand tools, and labeling machines in a safe and efficient manner. They may also be required to keep records on a computer and use cleaning equipment to keep the facility clean.

●     Provide real-time inventory location and quantity information.

●     To improve the effectiveness of business operations, share data with other ERP modules or standalone software products, such as accounting software and transportation management systems.

●     Monitor and report productivity to have a better picture of how efficiently your warehouse is running and where improvements to warehouse geography and space optimization can be made.

●     Using preset rules, provide step-by-step instructions to guide users through daily tasks such as receiving, picking, and packing orders.
