Case Study: Southern Wine & Spirits Oregon achieves 62% increase in daily shipments with Bastian Solutions

Southern Wine & Spirits Oregon - Customer Case Study

Southern Wine & Spirits Oregon, a major beverage distributor expanding its footprint, needed to boost throughput, improve order accuracy, and gain better visibility of orders and inventory to serve a growing client base. They engaged Bastian Solutions to redesign their Shakopee distribution operations and implement technologies such as the ExactaWCS warehouse control system, order waving and automated order routing, plus voice-directed picking and high-speed sorting equipment.

Bastian Solutions deployed ExactaWCS with order waving, automated routing, exception handling, voice-directed split-case modules, a Hytrol ProSort SC pivoting wheel sorter, and trailer loading conveyors to streamline picking and sorting. The solution delivered a 62% increase in daily orders shipped, complete order visibility through Exacta software, and measurable gains in system efficiency and order accuracy that improved customer service and supported expanding distribution.
