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 collection services, the consumer trend has shifted towards smaller, more frequent orders. This change has placed pressure on traditional grocery store supply chains, exacerbated by labour shortages, increased waste, and restrictive delivery costs.
Moreover, for many consumers, it’s no longer sufficient for food to simply be edible—it must also be visually appealing. Few things are more disappointing than receiving damaged or wilted food. This is especially challenging 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 presents an additional challenge. Consumers' growing desire to choose what they want, when they want it, adds further complexity and cost to the supply chain.
How Our Logistics Automation Serves Grocery Retailers
TGW Logistics offers advanced warehouse automation solutions that streamline the delivery of pristine food to consumers. Even orders requiring goods from multiple temperature zones—such as frozen items and fresh produce—are managed seamlessly by the systems we implement for our clients.
We achieve this through automated palletising. Our FullPick System moves effortlessly across temperature zones within the warehouse, picking goods far more quickly than manual processes and effectively filling labour gaps. It is both reliable and gentle, operating in all environments—including deep-freeze areas. Most importantly, the FullPick system’s level of automation is fully customisable.
Even in partially automated systems, order processing is quicker, throughput increases, and pallet quality is significantly enhanced. The software that powers each distribution centre can also be tailored to meet the specific demands of any market—resulting in improved consumer satisfaction, reduced waste, and lower operational costs.
If you're ready to upgrade your cold chain logistics with automation, TGW Logistics specialists are here to show you just how straightforward it can be to get started.
