Case Study: Codale Electric Supply achieves faster same-day pickup with AutoStore

Codale Electric Supply cuts Will Call order time by 20% with AutoStore

Codale Electric Supply, a regional electrical distributor and subsidiary of Sonepar USA, faced significant fulfillment challenges. Operating in a space-constrained Las Vegas market with high walk-in demand, their fragmented, manual operations created bottlenecks and limited their ability to process same-day pickup orders quickly and accurately. Codale turned to vendor AutoStore for a solution using their automated storage and retrieval system to consolidate operations and achieve scalability.

The solution implemented by AutoStore, empowered by Kardex software, was a high-density Goods-to-Person system. This automated solution stored 9,700 SKUs in a minimal footprint and used robots to deliver items to workstations, which streamlined both bulk replenishment and same-day order workflows. The results for Codale were substantial: same-day order processing sped up by 20%, overall throughput increased by 12%, and picking errors were dramatically reduced, all while cutting required floor space by 80%.
