Case Study: The Container Store optimizes multi-channel fulfillment with Dematic convey & sort automation

Convey & Sort System Optimizes Multi-Channel Distribution

The Container Store, a leading retailer of storage and organization products, required a more efficient distribution center to handle increased capacity and a wide variety of order profiles across its multiple sales channels. To meet this challenge, they partnered with Dematic to implement a high-performance order fulfillment system that could utilize the same inventory and staff for retail, e-commerce, and wholesale orders.

Dematic's solution integrated a conveyor and sortation system directed by Warehouse Execution Software (WES), which automatically routes order totes through a voice-picked module to designated packing workstations and shipping doors. This implementation by Dematic created numerous benefits, including increased efficiency, order accuracy, and employee productivity while reducing order processing time. The scalable system successfully supports all sales channels within one integrated layout and can accommodate future growth and demand surges.
