"Now that we use Locus Robotics' robots for putaway as well as picking, our daily restock has sped up by about 40% in one day."
How a seasonal-heavy retailer scaled capacity, eased physical strain, and improved retention with AMRs.
Go! Retail Group, parent company to Calendars.com and multiple specialty brands, needed a way to keep pace with its fast-growing eCommerce volume and heavy seasonal surges. Manual carts and conveyors put strain on employees, and a shrinking labor pool, especially among first-time workers, made staffing harder each year. The team turned to Locus Robotics to create a flexible automation model that could scale during peak and simplify daily work for associates.
By deploying Locus Robots for both picking and putaway, Go! Retail accelerated daily restock by roughly 40%, dramatically reduced physical strain, and improved morale across shifts. Turnover dropped from 50–60% weekly to just 5–8%, and training now takes only 15 minutes instead of two days. With the RaaS model, the team can add robots whenever order volume climbs, ensuring they stay ready for peak.
