Solutions for Faster, Fresher Orders
Automation Empowers Grocery Executives To Meet Increasing Consumer Demands
Consumers Demand More From Grocery Retailers Amidst Competitive Markets
Due to the rise of doorstep delivery and order pickup services, the consumer trend has been towards smaller, more frequent orders. This shift has strained traditional grocery store supply chains because of labor shortages, increased waste, and restrictive delivery costs.
Further, for many consumers, it’s not enough for food to simply be edible; it must meet the eye test. Few things are more deflating than receiving damaged or wilted food. This is most difficult with fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) such as meat, dairy, and deli products. As the saying goes, “We eat with our eyes first.”
Expanding the product range is another challenge. Consumers' increased desire to pick what they want whenever they want adds complexity and cost to the supply chain.
How Our Logistics Automation Serves Grocery Retailers
TGW Logistics offers sophisticated warehouse automation solutions that streamline the process of delivering pristine food to consumers. Even orders requiring items from multiple temperature zones (frozen vs. produce) are handled seamlessly by the systems we implement for our clients.
We’ve accomplished this through automated palletizing. Our FullPick System traverses temperature zones in the warehouse to pick goods much faster than humans and can fill gaps in your workforce. It is reliable and gentle and works in any environment, including the deep freezer. Most important, the level of automation of the FullPick system is customizable.
Even in partially automated systems, order processing is faster, output increases, and the quality of the pallets is improved. The software powering each distribution center is customizable to meet the demands of any market, resulting in increased consumer satisfaction, less waste, and reduced costs.
If you’re ready to upgrade your cold chain logistics by automating your supply chain, the specialists at TGW Logistics are prepared to show you how it’s simpler than you might think to get started.
