SSE Sees Immediate Savings and ROI with SnapFulfil
SSE's paper-based system for managing the warehouse was leading to significant challenges, including inefficiencies, delays, and human errors. The reliance on manual processes created a backlog of paperwork that was difficult to track and prone to mistakes. In fact, over the course of a year, they used a stack of paper the height of the BT Tower in London, highlighting the scale of the issue. The company realized they needed a more streamlined, automated solution to manage their growing operations.
After a four-month selection process, which involved comprehensive requirements gathering and an evaluation of various options, SSE selected SnapFulfil as their main provider. SnapFulfil’s cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) was chosen to meet their challenging requirements, offering real-time inventory tracking, improved order accuracy, and operational efficiency. The implementation of SnapFulfil allowed SSE to reduce reliance on paper, optimize warehouse processes, and enhance visibility into their supply chain. The switch to a modern WMS was a crucial step in driving better performance and meeting the demands of an increasingly fast-paced market.
After implementing SnapFulfil, SSE has:
- Increased pick lines per hour per full time employee from 13 to 19
- Improved order fulfilment from less than 90% to over 98%
- Increased overall efficiency by 46%
