Small steps to solve labor shortages

 

Whether we point to the Great Resignation, the highly competitive job market, or the increased omnichannel demands associated with COVID-19, one thing is clear: the retail industry is facing a challenging labor shortage. As such, employee shortages are top of mind for retailers across the country. Deloitte’s outlook for retail in 2022 showed that 70% of retail executives say that labor shortages will slow retail growth. Through October 2022, retailers have barely added any new employees and retail giants like Amazon announced that layoffs will continue in the coming year

Surprisingly, 57% of the executives surveyed by Deloitte reported that they had no plans to invest in automated material handling. Given the acute challenges retailers are facing in today’s market, integrating more automation is a necessary tactic in remaining competitive and managing labor shortages.

 

To solve labor shortages and stretched-thin workers, look to the most common processes in your retail environment. Common processes like ticketing, returns, and markdown labeling – a routine, day-to-day task – provides the perfect opportunity to uncover dramatic time savings and employee efficiencies throughout your store.

Implementing a compact, easy-to-use mobile label printing solution and bringing it to the floor where you need it helps lighten the workload of your employees, improve the experience of your customers, and dial in your inventory.

 

Do more work with less labor

 

On-demand retail price labeling allows for labels to be printed or updated quickly, right from the floor and in the aisles. This means that your associates don’t have to leave the floor to manage a print job. Automation and on-demand printing allows your employees to create new labels as needed while still watching the storefront or interacting with your customers.

 

Leverage up-to-the-minute pricing

 

In today’s retail environments, employees often find themselves marking down sale items by hand. Automation allows your staff to rapidly print professional-looking labels as needed, which generates an easier-to-read label. This helps to reduce confusion and questions from customers, leading to a more enjoyable customer experience. And having up-to-date labels means that your inventory will be accurate and up to date – a necessity considering currently strained supply chains.

 

Streamline your systems

 

To streamline your workflow, choose a barcode label design software and mobile printer that integrate quickly and simply with existing retail systems. And integrated systems that you can easily train new employees on will also lessen the burden of high employee turnover.  

The right printer will have drop-in emulation compatibility to help automate implementation tasks. Plus, zero-cost implementation support means your store can enjoy the benefits of a cohesive, compatible system infrastructure. The right software will have native label printer drivers to provide the best overall quality for your barcode labeling needs and subscription licensing for a lower up-front cost.

 

Prevent expensive downtime

 

In the fast-paced world of retail, you can’t afford downtime from technological errors or printer jams. The latest on-demand label printers feature reliable NFC pairing with Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® technology to ensure printers connect to your devices – and stay connected. Plus, easy-to-use software, hardware, and highly reliable operations allow your team to keep moving through the day without any technology hassles and frustration. 

Simple solutions. Big results.

 

Finding ways to improve your business and operations doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking. Identifying small steps towards automation – like on-demand retail price labeling – can have far-reaching benefits and implications for your business and staff.
