The Challenge

Fragmented systems across sites

Multiple WMS platforms and inconsistent processes drove execution variability and blocked network-wide scale.


Limited flexibility in legacy systems

Rigid legacy apps slowed workflow changes, customer onboarding, and response to shifting operations.


Inconsistent training and onboarding

Site-by-site process differences extended ramp times and created uneven workforce productivity.


Lack of real-time visibility

Limited system insight delayed issue detection and reactive labor and performance management.


The Solution

standardized warehouse operations across Bunzl's distribution network for greater consistency and scalability.


Optimized picking and receiving

improved workflows, reduced travel time, and accelerated dock-to-stock processes.


Faster onboarding

reduced training time from days to hours with intuitive, easy-to-use workflows.


Real-time visibility

dashboards provided supervisors with actionable operational insights.

“The biggest difference is how quickly associates can work confidently in the system. Tasks are more intuitive, workflows are clearer and there’s less opportunity for error.”
