“We are honored to be recognized for this prestigious award. COVID brought significant challenges to this facility, and we were able to make a big difference with our solution, such as reducing the use of additional pallets and reducing labor capacity for over $600,000 in savings annually, along with numerous other benefits.”

The site had to add two overflow facilities for additional storage, very few carriers met appointment times, and the facility had high demand. Because of these things, along with the site's high volume of case pick outbound shipments, they were struggling with coordinating all activities and often saw a massive number of repicked pallets for customer orders. To help resolve these challenges, the AutoScheduler solution was brought in to automate complex planning & orchestrate activities like inbound sequencing, bring-backs from outside facilities, replenishment, case pick, and loading sequences to ensure all shipments get out on time in full.
