Wayfinding Directional Signs Can Cut Labor Costs – Smyrna, GA

Directional or wayfinding signs are typically thought of as being used to guide customers to various places or products within a store, or outdoors to help drive foot and street traffic to various places.
But you might not think of directional wayfinding signs as a way to cut your employee labor costs down.
One of the biggest factors when it comes to high labor costs is inefficiency, which largely boils down to being disorganized. For example, if items are getting misplaced or if products aren’t being properly organized in the stock room, a lot of extra hours start adding up when employees need to make extra trips to locate items. If you can get your employees to operate in the most efficient manner, and virtually eliminate rework and time spent trying to locate things, you can save more money, thus improving your ROI. This will work better than trying to get a few extra customers in the door.
Do your employees know which stock to rotate and which is the oldest? Do they know how your warehouse or storage area is organized? Do you have to spend time training your employees to know where things are supposed to go?
All of these things can be addressed at once with a simple package of directional signs. Clearly labeling where items go is the first step. The second step is creating a directional signage system that allows new employees with very little knowledge of your inventory locations be able to more efficiently pull more product or put product back into storage.
