Faster warehouse onboarding with smart WMS

Training new people in the warehouse is one of the biggest challenges for any company dealing with logistics. In some places, it takes weeks, elsewhere just a few days. And then there are companies like TRANS – TECHNIK, where a newcomer can get the hang of things literally within a single day. How is that possible? They use the LOKiA WMS warehouse management system.

Anyone who has ever managed a warehouse knows the situation: a new employee needs to get oriented with the operation, learn where everything is stored, understand the processes the company uses, and what a typical day looks like. In practice, it usually means that the newcomer shadows a colleague for a few days, gets handed printed picklists, and then tries to “learn by doing.” Whatever they don’t understand, they guess. And what they miss, they only find out about when customer complaints or delays start showing up. The learning curve is steep, and it’s often painful for both sides: the newcomer and the warehouse manager.

A digital warehouse system like LOKiA WMS changes the rules of the game. The warehouse worker doesn’t have to guess or remember anything. The system guides them step by step: it shows where to go, what to receive, what to pick, what to check. Working with a scanner and barcodes means even a new employee immediately knows where the goods are and what they need to do. And most importantly: it’s in Czech, clear, and intuitive.

Real-life experience: TRANS – TECHNIK

The company TRANS – TECHNIK operates a warehouse and production facility covering 5,000 m². That’s where they decided to implement LOKiA WMS. And what do they say about it?

“We’re very satisfied. The system is intuitive, and new employees get trained really quickly. On top of that, great support – quick responses to any request.”
- Roman Kuchyňka, TRANS – TECHNIK

Thanks to digital records, they have an accurate overview of the current stock levels, and the arrival of new employees no longer disrupts daily operations.

A WMS (Warehouse Management System) reduces errors not only among new hires. It automatically checks whether the worker has received or picked the right goods, it oversees accurate packing during dispatch, and it can catch mistakes before they leave the warehouse. Feedback comes immediately. If the worker makes a mistake, the scanner stops them. That’s a big difference compared to paper-based records, where you only discover errors days later.

Thanks to LOKiA WMS, the warehouse manager has full control. They know who is doing what, how fast, how much has been picked, and what the error rate is. Elsewhere, getting a similar overview would require a spreadsheet. Others simply rely on gut feeling. Here, it’s all in data – and in real time. The system can also be easily connected to the company’s ERP. No IT team is needed – everything can be handled with the support of the provider and a user-friendly interface that even people with no technical background can work with.

One of the most common concerns companies have is that implementing a WMS will be complicated or slow down operations. But that’s not the case with LOKiA WMS. Implementation is fast, the system runs in the cloud, and it has a friendly interface that even someone who has never used a WMS before can quickly learn. In fact, the sooner a company starts, the better it can avoid confusion, complaints, or panic during peak season.

Is your warehouse ready for a change?

Try asking yourself:

• How fast can you train a new warehouse worker?
• How do you know your goods are where they’re supposed to be?
• When was the last time someone made a mistake during dispatch?
• And what if your most experienced warehouse worker left tomorrow?

If you’re hesitating on at least two of these questions, maybe it’s time to look into how a WMS would work in your warehouse.

A warehouse without chaos, onboarding without stress, operations without paper. And a new hire who gets the hang of things in just one day. That’s what a digitally managed warehouse looks like in 2025.
