Retail Case Study

Client Challenge

A major discount retailer required a consolidation and distribution solution to handle their non-retail inventory. This is a high-volume environment with a historically high error rate. The material is received into a main distribution center, distributed into 7 regional warehouses and then shipped to their 1600 retail stores.

Solution

ASPGS created a high-volume consolidation and distribution solution, allowing the logistics provider, warehouses, stores, and corporate office to have visibility into the supply chain and orders. The orders are consolidated and shipped weekly via the appropriate methods. Maximized warehouse efficiency and processes to create a scalable distribution network.

Benefit

Significantly reduced the error rate, and dramatically increased the productivity of the distribution center. DC was able to process 50% for orders on a weekly basis, which they said could never be done. Store visibiltiy has resulted in fewer calls from GM’s to corporate inquiring about lost, misplace or overdue items.
