Solution: ADSI designed a multi-carrier shipping solution, coupled with Motorola scanners and Zebra printers located at the packing/shipping stations. Our solution provides routing, carrier compliance, labeling and full documentation on all shipments for all carriers. We next implemented a wireless system in all DCs that provides paperless processing in all operations. Receiving, replenishment, picking and truck loading are now RF-directed, delivering huge improvements in overall performance.
Results:Our solutions have helped our client accommodate steady growth without adding personnel. The throughput of receipts is now 45% faster; inventory accuracy is 30% better; and picking accuracy has increased from 99.5% to 99.74%, with a reduction in errors of 50%. Improved accuracy alone has accounted for $1.1 million in annual savings.
