Increasing efficiency in DCs as well as on-shelf availability in store

 Grocery & Food Service

Grocery distribution is about responsive replenishment and maintaining stock levels in stores. Traditional case picking methods are still very common, but there are now solutions available that can significantly increase the productivity of your distribution centre staff.

 

There are many other pressures on the industry, such as:

  • Managing growing numbers of SKUs
  • Delivering products in a store friendly way, in order to reduce the shelf filling labour requirements in store
  • Achieving high efficiencies for large and small stores from one DC
  • Improving Ergonomics

The solutions shown here address all or some of these requirements in order to significantly enhance your distribution efficiency levels.
