Easily integrated with existing technologies, the system can be tailored to your specific operation, providing exactly the data you need to objectively analyze employee performance, identify shortfalls, set standards, and increase productivity.
Productivity Starts With Visibility
By only using a Warehouse Management System (WMS), you are missing approximately 60% of paid labor hours. With the iWAREHOUSE Labor Management System, coupled with the other fleet and warehouse management capabilities of iWAREHOUSE, you can correlate labor data with equipment utilization and cost/budgeting information for a more detailed, versatile, and valuable view of your business. Discover the insights you need to address operational challenges, allowing you to:
+ Drive accountability in your workforce for increased employee productivity and utilization
+ Identify inefficiencies through process improvements and lean analysis with cost data
+ Optimize workflows to lower labor costs and make more informed decisions
A Path To Achieve Savings
Even small changes in productivity can have a big impact on your bottom line. Quickly and easily implemented in a matter of weeks, as opposed to months or even years like other systems, with no hardware requirements and little involvement from IT, this solution often pays for itself in less than one year.

A warehouse labor management system tracks and analyzes how employees spend their time throughout the workday, providing objective data on productivity, indirect tasks, and time discrepancies that might otherwise go unnoticed. The iWAREHOUSE® Labor Management System gives operations a real-time view of workforce performance, helping establish standards, identify opportunities for improvement, and support continuous operational improvement.
By making employee performance visible and measurable, labor management software creates accountability that encourages higher productivity. iWAREHOUSE LMS users have reported average productivity gains of approximately 20% while lowering labor costs by about 10%.
These improvements come from identifying missing time, reducing indirect work, and using coaching and process improvements to raise performance across the workforce.
A warehouse management system (WMS) manages inventory movement, storage locations, and order fulfillment activities. A labor management system (LMS) focuses on the people performing those tasks by measuring how long work takes, where time is lost, and how employee performance compares to established standards.
The two systems complement one another by combining inventory visibility with workforce performance data, creating a more complete picture of warehouse operations.
Yes. The iWAREHOUSE Labor Management System identifies opportunities to recover lost time, reduce indirect work, and improve productivity through coaching and process improvements. Together, these insights can help lower labor costs while increasing operational efficiency.
The iWAREHOUSE Labor Management System can typically be implemented within a matter of weeks. Because it requires no additional hardware and minimal IT involvement, deployment is often faster and less disruptive than many enterprise software projects. Many operations begin seeing measurable returns during the first year.
Yes. iWAREHOUSE LMS is part of the iWAREHOUSE Evolution platform, allowing labor management data to integrate directly with fleet management and location tracking. This provides a single view of workforce performance, equipment utilization, and operating costs instead of relying on disconnected systems.
Labor studies combine operational data with industry benchmarks to establish performance standards that reflect the way a specific facility operates. These benchmarks can evolve as new products, workflows, and customer requirements are introduced.
Reliable performance standards give managers a consistent baseline for measuring improvement, making staffing decisions, and identifying opportunities to improve productivity over time.
