German backpack manufacturer lifts throughput 30%

The Challenge

Outdated inventory system

Deuter's warehouse relied on an outdated inventory system of manual warehouse processes that couldn't keep pace with rapid growth for Europe’s largest backpack manufacturer.

Inefficient picking processes and high error rates

Confined in a 6,500 square-meter warehouse, inefficient picking paths and high error rates in order processing made it difficult to meet growing demand.

Limited scalability and visibility

Deuter couldn’t scale operations and a lack of real-time inventory visibility made it difficult to optimize warehouse management. 

The Solution

Real-time inventory management and transparency

Infios WM (Warehouse Management) provided seamless integration to ERP and suppliers to allow real-time automatic booking of warehouse movements and inventory visibility to the individual item level.

Optimized picking processes and reduced error rates

Optimized picking processes and multi-order picking logic minimized walking distances and saved time, reduced error rates in picking and shipping, and boosted Deuter’s shipping performance.

Scalability and sustainability

Infios WM’s scalable solution supports Deuter's future growth and automation plans, while contributing to sustainability goals by reducing unnecessary transportation, returns and CO₂ emissions
