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

Heartland Produce cuts mis-picks 86% with Aptean

Heartland Produce, a produce wholesaler based in Wisconsin, faced significant operational challenges due to its reliance on manual paper-based processes for warehouse management. These labor-intensive methods led to frequent errors, mis-picks, and a lack of real-time visibility, which increased costs and hindered efficiency. To address this, the company turned to vendor Aptean for a solution using its Produce Pro Software.

Aptean implemented its warehouse management system (WMS), which automated outbound operations using barcode scanning and handheld computers. This solution provided electronic task management and real-time communication. The results were a dramatic 86% decrease in mis-picks and a 44% reduction in short ships, significantly improving warehouse accuracy and operational visibility for Heartland Produce.
