Warehousing revamped for growth
August 1st 2010 Sports nutrition company
Maximuscle is automating its 30,000
square foot, 2,500 pallet, 250 SKU
global warehousing operation using
a system from DeltaWMS.
The installation, which includes a
radio frequency (RF) environment
and handheld scanning equipment is
Delta's third sale into the health and
fitness market.
The DeltaWMS: Distribution
system will support Maximuscle's
fine-pick-and-pack distribution to its
200,000 direct, mostly online
customers as well as to major retail
clients including Holland & Barrett,
Tesco, Asda and Argos.
"DeltaWMS is an investment to
support planned company growth,"
explains Maximuscle supply chain
manager Gary Lake. "We have a good
reputation for service and we want
to maintain that reputation as we
grow. An RF-enabled warehouse will
allow us to maximise the utilisation
of our warehouse staff and the
accuracy of our picking and putting
away phases."
Maximuscle's selection team
covering IT, the warehouse and office
operations reviewed the market
before picking the DeltaWMS system
on the basis of its technical flexibility,
scalability, price and support,
according to Lake.
DeltaWMS will be integrated with
the system supporting Maximuscle's
order entry team. More articles from Delta WMS Ltd / Renovotec: |
