CHALLENGE
A leading footwear brand’s rapid e-commerce growth created a packaging bottleneck that constrained throughput, increased labor requirements, and drove unnecessary packaging costs.
SOLUTION
1. INNOVATION FOCUS
An detailed operational review of fulfillment and packaging workflows identified manual packaging as a key constraint to scalability and prime for automation efficiency gains.
2. PACKAGING AUTOMATION
The implementation of an automated poly bagging solution enabled rightsized packaging, reduced material consumption, lowered carbon emissions, and accelerated pack-out operations.
3. LABOR OPTIMIZATION
Labor needs were reduced by 30%, allowing labor to be reallocated, increasing picking volume, and supporting growth.
By leveraging automation and modernizing the pack-out process, the team developed a solution that reduced waste, improved efficiency, and created capacity for future growth.
RESULTS
-
80% reduction in e-comm boxes, corrugate, and dunnage
-
30% reduction in manual labor requirements
