Overview & Challenge
GEODIS, a leading global third-party logistics (3PL) provider, was looking for a way to dramatically improve their fast-growing ecommerce fulfillment productivity for a major women’s apparel brand. They needed to efficiently manage peak season volume increases, despite a tight labor market.
Initially deploying 28 LocusBots into the 139,000 square foot facility handling nearly 30,000 SKUs, GEODIS saw an immediate 2X productivity improvement.
Based on this success, GEODIS has now deployed the Locus solution at multiple large customer sites with further expansion planned for the coming months.
Sr. Vice President of Engineering Kevin Stock said, “Locus said that we’d hit 2X in productivity measurements and we are seeing that. They’re delivering on what they said.”
