Case Study: Heartland Produce improves warehouse efficiency with Aptean Produce Pro Software

Heartland Produce cuts mis-picks 86% with Aptean Distribution ERP

Heartland Produce, a produce wholesaler based in Wisconsin, faced significant warehouse inefficiencies as its order volumes grew. The company's reliance on manual processes and paper tickets led to frequent errors, mis-picks, and a lack of real-time visibility. To tackle these challenges, Heartland Produce turned to Aptean and implemented its Produce Pro Software with a warehouse management system (WMS).

Aptean's solution introduced barcode scanning and handheld computers to automate outbound operations and eliminate paper-based tasks. This provided real-time communication and dynamic handling of lot changes. The results were substantial, including an 86% decrease in mis-picks and a 44% reduction in short ships. The implementation gave supervisors full visibility into operations and significantly improved overall warehouse efficiency and accuracy for Heartland Produce.
