Challenge
- Meeting customer expectations: Dental City struggled to pick every order in time to meet same-day shipping promises, jeopardizing customer satisfaction.
- Scaling efficiently: a compact 40,000-square-foot warehouse limited options for adding fulfillment capacity. Packing and shipping strategies created waste.
- Growing competitive pressure: throughput constraints jeopardized Dental City’s market position against competitors with much larger warehouse space.
Solution
- Trusted partnership evolves: Infios WM (Warehouse Management) helped Dental City transform operations in 2008. In 2024, Infios implemented Autonomous Mobile Robots with partner, Locus Robotics.
- Rapid go live and frictionless deployment: seamless integration to existing Infios WM combined QR-code navigation and plug and play set-up to deliver value quickly: decision to live in just three months.
- Throughput booms with more efficiency: zone-picking employees took fewer steps while doubling pick rates. Simultaneously, hands-free picking and packing improved order accuracy and shipment efficiency.
- Intelligent solution design optimizes space: Mobile Point of Sale (MPOS) enabled smarter cartonization to fill every box and lower shipment counts.
