Five Ways Voice Technology is Transforming Warehouse Labor.

In this exclusive article, discover what your warehouse network has been missing if it’s not using the most advanced voice technology. In the face of persistent labor shortages, rising wage pressures and increasing customer demands, you’ll learn key ways voice tech is transforming warehouse labor.

Voice technology streamlines the hiring and onboarding process, dramatically shortening the onboarding curve for new and seasonal workers from days to hours. Plus, today’s technology appeals to older as well as younger workers and reduces the need for extensive supervision or coaching.

The technology boosts retention and job satisfaction. Voice-directed systems offer a user-friendly interface that improves job satisfaction in labor-intensive environments. They also allow workers to focus on the physical aspects of their jobs with fewer distractions.

In addition, voice technology incentivizes performance. Double-digit productivity gains can be achieved as voice technology empowers workers to self-correct mid-shift and make more informed decisions about pacing, routing, and task completion.

Further, voice-directed technology enhances safety. Warehouses are inherently high-risk environments, particularly when operators are distracted by screens or handheld scanners. Voice systems mitigate these risks by enabling “hands-free, eyes-free” work.

The new tech expands the labor pool, eliminating language barriers to open new labor sources with systems that can support more than 50 languages, making warehouse roles more accessible to non-native English speakers and those with lower levels of education or digital literacy.

Voice technology is an interoperable solution that evolves alongside businesses as a lifetime enabler of intelligent warehouse operations. It’s a practical, proven solution that’s reshaping warehouse labor. From onboarding to retention, performance to safety, and workforce diversity to daily workflows, voice tech provides the solutions needed to develop flexibility and intelligence that will help your warehouse network to become the provider of choice.
