3-Step Method to Improve Overseas Warehouse Turnover Rate by 20%

Author: Eric Liu, Fulfillment Operations Director

1) Inventory Tiering & Replenishment Strategy

  • Distinguish fast and slow movers; set safety stock and replenishment thresholds.
  • Position high-turnover SKUs near picking paths to reduce walking distance.

2) Picking & Sorting Efficiency

  • Select wave/zone picking methods based on order structure.
  • Use barcode verification and electronic labels to reduce mis-shipment rates.

3) Reverse Logistics & Relabeling

  • Standard process: Return inspection → Relabeling/repair → Re-shelving.
  • Feed reverse item data back to procurement and sales to avoid recurring issues.

Combined with WMS/OMS integration, this further reduces manual entry errors and improves inventory accuracy and customer experience.
