Proactive Inventory Management
Contact An ExpertOur Process
Create a digital inventory catalogue
Using our LINK™ technology, we create a catalogue as robust as your needs demand. We recommend including, at minimum, categorized groupings, a short description of each asset (including condition), and photos. The resulting visibility, classification, and search ability allows for ease of reporting and decision making. Depending on your strategy, you can also include request capabilities and other enhanced features.
Establish a plan for redeployment
A successful strategy requires an understanding of asset depreciation, redeployment value, donation and recycling options, and storage ROI. Our team will help you create a plan that will not only minimize cost, but also, maximize gains on corporate social responsibility initiatives.
Powerful Visibility to Your Inventory
Our warehouses have the space and security you need, while our technology helps you make strategic decisions about your inventory. Photo documentation, digital catalogs, request capabilities, and classification tools help you make educated decisions and control inventory costs.
Dynamic Warehouse Management System
Planes’ dynamic warehouse management system enables us to provide full visibility to receipts, current inventory, allocated inventory, and outbound shipments. Items are tagged and located electronically during the inbound process. During outbound picking, our teams manage orders via handheld scanning devices to ensure pick accuracy.
Custom Inventory Management Methods
Whether your inventory features 2 SKUs or 2,000 SKUs, our system supports a broad spectrum of data points. Planes will work with you to understand and build out a comprehensive item master to ensure we capture the data points that are meaningful to your operation. We can also adjust inventory management methods that make sense to your product flow. Our system supports First In/First Out (FIFO), First Expired First Out (FEFO), and Last In First Out (LIFO) control methods.
Intuitive Inventory Management Platform
Planes offers full visibility to your inventory via LINK™, our online platform. During implementation, we will discuss your needs, review options for platform views and reporting, and select the tools that make the most sense to you and your team. We can also provide ongoing inventory life cycle views, as well as par level alerts to assist in the procurement process.
Our Reviews
highly recommend them to others
"We had a great experience with Planes in relocating our 91,000 square foot distribution center from Indianapolis to Greenwood. We met with John London and his team several times over a 3 month period, they asked great questions and together we mapped out a solid move plan for our execution week. We successfully relocated 4,500 pallets of inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment and supplies over a five day period and were back to operations the following Monday after our relocation week. I would definitely work with Planes again and would highly recommend them to others."
above and beyond
"I’ve never met a more professional yet enjoyable team! You all are easy to talk to you and are quite humble. Rare quality you find in the workplace nowadays. Receptive to feedback and also provides feedback in a professional manner. You all go above and beyond to get the job done! I don’t know how you do it but there isn't a place you all can’t ship to or pick up from! You all seem to have contact carriers all over! Billing is reasonable and invoices easy to understand. I honestly appreciate everything you all do. I can’t imagine being in this crazy world without your team."
push for the most efficient way of working
"We have been working with Planes for over year and throughout that period we have always felt supported and that we are working together as a team. They are very responsive to any queries or concerns; they are always willing to go that extra mile for us! They consistently push for the most efficient way of working and their constant improvement very much aligns with our own company values."
superior professionalism
"I want to express our gratitude for all your hard work during this project. Considering the scope of what was accomplished, I'm very thankful we were able to rely on your expertise, as guided us through all the challenges to get our group from Texas to Indy successfully. The coordination of this move was quite a task and you orchestrated it with superior professionalism."
