Business Challenge
Three Warehouses, Fifteen Client Accounts, One Shared Operational Challenge
As the 3PL operation grew, the business needed a more consistent way to manage inventory, client-specific stock, warehouse activity, and fulfillment across multiple locations.
Inventory Accuracy
Manual handling and inconsistent warehouse processes made it difficult to maintain accurate inventory visibility across locations.
Multi-Client Operations
Defined client-specific segregation rules and service-level expectations with account managers.
Warehouse Coordination
Teams needed consistent processes for coordinating stock movements and fulfillment across multiple warehouse locations.
Picking Errors
A reported 3% warehouse mis-pick rate highlighted the need for more structured picking and barcode-based workflows.
Limited Operational Visibility
Management needed better visibility into order status, inventory movements, and day-to-day warehouse activity.
Scalability
The operating model needed a scalable foundation for additional clients, products, and warehouse activity.
