Client Overview:
A mid-sized, family-owned distributor specializing in clothing and footwear for retail stores and direct-to-consumer e-commerce was experiencing significant growth—particularly through its online channel. This surge in demand led to increased throughput and placed pressure on labour resources in an already constrained job market. To meet this growing demand and streamline operations, the company sought to implement an automated solution for storage and order picking. Their goals included boosting throughput, enhancing efficiency and accuracy, and gaining better operational control.
Challenge:
Patrick’s Approach:
Patrick was engaged to develop the specification for the automated solution, engage qualified solutions providers and integrators, evaluate their concepts and proposals and assist the client management team in selecting the best solution to meet their requirements and to guide and to act as trusted advisor to the client management team throughout the implementation phases of installation, commissioning, testing, and go-live.
