It’s so universally true that no one bothers to make excuses or seem embarrassed about the fact that they suffered: We’re all suffering. Not so at Vocollect at number 19 on Modern’s 2009 list of the Top 20 Automatic Data Capture Suppliers. According to Joe Pajer, chief operating officer and president of Vocollect’s supply chain solutions business. “Here’s the shocker,” says Pajer. “Last year, we grew our business and added 200 customers. We also upgraded another several dozen customers, taking them from our last generation technology to a new generation technology.” Those upgrades came at a significant cost, Pajer adds, ranging from several hundred thousand dollars up to a few million for a few large companies.

Voice makes the job easier for workers to perform their duties, and it makes the organization more competitive. It also can help improve employee morale and job satisfaction, through better and more accurate incentive programs and the ability to recognize top performers. Yesterday’s tired approaches are simply inadequate for today’s world where supply chain organizations are struggling mightily to squeeze as much profit and performance out of their operations as possible. These overwhelming expectations create many challenges – and opportunities – for DC/warehouse leaders. Their ability to inspire and enable their workforces to achieve peak performance gets tested on an hourly basis. Part of this leadership dynamic is helping workers to understand and embrace the technological changes that come into their work environment.  Experience shows that companies receive the greatest payback from their technology investments when they carefully consider the impact these systems will have on the end users – front-line distribution center (DC) and warehouse employees – and plan for potential issues before a technology initiative goes live. These best practices are ideal to employ when implementing a voice system in a DC/warehouse operation. As part of Vocollect’s ongoing white paper series on best practices for achieving successful voice deployments, this paper summarizes the insights and best practices gained from thousands of implementations worldwide over the past 20 years. You’ll learn ways to most effectively lead your teams through a voice deployment to more quickly realize the many benefits that voice applications provide for your business.
