50 % less workforce and 50 % fewer truck trips

Richard Kearns always knows how his supply chains, his new
warehouse in Hernando, Mississippi, or his logistics processes are
performing - because he receives immediate feedback every single
day. As Executive Vice President of Distribution & Logistics at
Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG), he serves demanding customers:
the store operators are independent retailers who expect to be
impressed by logistics performance every day. This is made possible
by a highly automated full-range logistics center, designed and
implemented by WITRON, which supplies 3,400 stores with a portfolio
of currently 54,600 different dry, fresh, and frozen items. The
facility is designed for a daily picking capacity of more than
460,000 cases and ranks among the most innovative and
high-performance logistics centers in the United States. The
results achieved are impressive. Labor and transportation costs
have been significantly reduced.
