Pet Supermarket Keeps Growth on Track Without Adding Staff or Expanding Its DC
Pet Supermarket’s DC was growing beyond the capacity of a paper-based picking process that restricted efficiency. The manual system generated over 1,500 sheets of paper a day, creating clerical work for three full-time associates, and making it difficult for front-line supervisors to react to shorts and manage production throughout the day. They had been using barcode scanning for receiving and replenishment, but managers had determined they needed a Lucas voice-directed optimization solution to achieve the productivity gains they were seeking.
