Challenge
A national distributor was losing hours every shift to paper pick lists, congested aisles and unclear slotting. Travel time ate throughput, while overtime hid the real productivity gap.
Solution
WMS360 introduced directed putaway, optimized pick paths and live labor dashboards. Supervisors could rebalance waves in minutes instead of waiting for end-of-day reports.
Results
Pick productivity rose 32% in 90 days. Overtime dropped 18%, and same-day order cut-off moved two hours later without adding headcount.
