When Worlds Collide:How Multi-Modal Voice Applications Are Changing the
Face of DC Operations

A 2013 survey by SCI shows that voice-directed applications are well-established in the warehouse, and adoption is accelerating. When most
people think of voice they think “voice picking” but a growing percentage of DCs are using voice beyond picking.

Not surprisingly, warehouse managers in DCs using voice are generally far more satisfied with warehouse operations.

Current voice users have seen benefits across the top two DC performance requirements: labor efficiency and order accuracy. As the next slides show,
the need for speed and accuracy are increasing…

This recent survey shows that DCs are
expanding, and complexity is
increasing: SKU proliferation,
increased inventory turns,
etc.

In addition to speed and accuracy, traceability is coming to the fore. As a result, more and more DCs are embracing multi-modal applications that
combine voice and RF (screen and barcode scanning).Every Jennifer™ VoicePlus application delivered since 2005 is multi-modal.

Voice-only Solutions
Voice-Enablement
First Generation Multi-Modal Solutions
Advanced Multi-Modal Solutions
Advanced multi-modal solutions combine the latest voice and mobile technologies with sophisticated applications (task interleaving, adaptive workflows) to drive transformational gains in DC efficiency - far beyond
what you would get with voice-enablement or voice-only systems.

Summary
• Voice is a proven solution for improving distribution operations – now more than ever, it’s a critical technology.
• Voice solutions of the past are giving way to rich, multi-modal applications.
• To get transformational gains with multi-modal applications you need a different approach:– Treat your multi-modal project as a process improvement
opportunity.
– Understand the appropriate role of voice, scanning and screens.
– Think closely about the warehouse floor and carefully consider ease of use, training, and up- and downstream processes.
– Look beyond the warehouse floor for means to improve management effectiveness and customer service.
