Challenge

Archway is a leading provider of marketing logistics, fulfillment services and supply chain management solutions.

Results

• Increased average pick lines per hour to over 400. Peak pick rates can be as high as 550 lines/hour.
• Accuracy rates increased to 99.98%

• Archway updated the system (2018) to include 2 more carts (now 16) each containing 18 order locations along with 2 more flow rack bays each holding an additional 32 sku’s
