THE CHALLENGE:\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Help a start-up E-Grocer compete in the volatile Online grocery category. Many stores rely on labor-intensive methods to complete Online orders. Without a traditional brick and mortar footprint, or the reach of a competitor like Amazon, the start-up needed an innovative, cost-effective, and contactless way to fulfill orders.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

THE SOLUTION:\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The E-Grocer built a collection of automated micro fulfillment centers where most work was completed through robotics. However since some critical picking needed to be done manually, we created a custom solution that included arm-mounted Android mobile computers integrated with ring scanners. This allowed the manual process to be fast and efficient, which kept costs down and allowed the start-up to compete with established services\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

THE TOOLS:<\/h4>\n

ZEBRA TC25 Handheld Units\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wearable Barcode Scanner<\/p>\n

Custom Arm Mount Holder\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SOTI – Enterprise Mobile\u00a0Device Management<\/p>\n

Lifecycle & Asset Management<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked closely with this innovative start-up from their inception to ensure their picking tools were the perfect fit for their processes. <\/i><\/b>Their growth has been remarkable, and they are working with the largest names in the grocery business.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
