GEODIS’ warehouse in Nashville is responsible for fulfilling orders for multiple brands with a diverse range of products that is always changing. In order to achieve their objectives, GEODIS realized the need for a high-performing, flexible, and efficient order fulfillment system.

A high-performing system was required to process thousands of orders each day while also adapting to urgent order requests. Given their lack of direct insight into their clients’ SKU changes, as well as projections for peak seasons and long-term growth, GEODIS required a highly flexible system. High on their checklist was a system adept at seamlessly managing orders from various distribution channels, with the agility to rapidly scale throughput and storage capacity while avoiding unnecessary costs or operational disruptions.

GEODIS의 부사장 겸 e물류 총괄 매니저인 Matt Street는 “우리는 항상 고객으로부터 어떤 제품을 받게 될지 구체적으로 알 수 없기 때문에 유연성을 염두에 두고 설계해야 했고, Exotec^® 은 확실히 그런 기능을 제공했습니다.” 라고 말합니다.

Due to the ongoing labor shortage, GEODIS needed a solution to automate the laborious and inefficient tasks associated with manual order picking. These tasks included walking long distances each day and lifting heavy items, which were time-consuming and strenuous for employees. GEODIS was in search of a solution that would not only alleviate these issues, but also promote a more employee-friendly and productive work environment.
