Case Study: Kroeger achieves faster order fulfillment and inventory audit success with Blue Link Associates Limited

The Benefits of Blue Link’s Warehouse Management System

Kroeger Inc. is a 50+ year-old Ontario-based wholesale distributor of toys, puzzles and giftware (including the exclusive Rubik’s Cube importer) operating a single 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse with 18,000 SKUs and 2,700 accounts. The company relied on manual inventory and picking processes, which led to inventory discrepancies, a failed audit and slow, labor-intensive order fulfillment (typically 25–50 orders/day).

Kroeger implemented Blue Link ERP’s WMS Lite to automate workflows, add barcode scanning and consolidated pick slips, and integrate with carriers and EDI for drop-shipping. The result: full inventory visibility, successful audits, paperless picking, elimination of double-entry and a jump in throughput from roughly 30 orders a day to over 100 daily.
