“The throughput and the productivity were 4x the amount with the WMS solution.”
–John White, Director of Warehouse Operations, BW Retail Solutions
Founded in 2017 as a partnership between two long-standing family businesses, BW Retail Solutions today is an ecommerce retailer primarily focusing in the power sports and lawn and garden industries. With the business growing 30-40% per year, manual fulfillment practices began to impinge on warehouse efficiency and didn’t allow the business to scale easily. To take fulfillment operations to the next level, BW Retail deployed the Descartes Peoplevox™ ecommerce warehouse management system integrated with the Descartes ShipRush™ multi-carrier parcel shipping system. The results were compelling: a 45-60% improvement in labor efficiency, dramatic improvements in pick/pack/ship accuracy and the ability to easily flex seasonal labor and train employees quickly.
