Case Study: Curriculum Associates achieves 167% increase in order capacity and consolidates into a single distribution center with Bastian Solutions

Curriculum Associates - Customer Case Study

Curriculum Associates, an education company supplying print materials and software across the U.S. and Canada, was growing about 40% annually and needed to expand its operational footprint, determine space requirements, develop operating strategies, and specify a new material handling system and warehouse management system. Curriculum Associates engaged Bastian Solutions for warehouse consulting services, including facility sizing, equipment layout, operational methodologies, RFP creation, vendor selection, and project management.

Bastian Solutions designed and implemented a consolidated, optimized distribution center—combining two smaller facilities into one—by delivering a facility sizing study, efficient equipment layout, and managing selection and installation of a new material handling system and WMS. The solution produced a 167% increase in capacity (from roughly 600,000 to over 1.6 million units shipped per year) and a scalable, industry‑leading operation aligned with Curriculum Associates’ long‑term growth plan.
