Retail Distribution
Floor-loaded containers in, store orders out, and a calendar full of seasonal peaks.
The Challenge
Floor-loaded containers in, store replenishment out
Retail distribution centres receive imported goods in floor-loaded containers, store them by the pallet, and ship mixed cases to stores on a tight schedule. Receiving is often the bottleneck, and it is the hardest work in the building.
