Case Study: Central Vacuum Stores Inc. achieves 20% more daily shipments, 300% higher picking productivity and real-time inventory visibility with Deposco

Central Vacuum Stores Inc. - Customer Case Study

Central Vacuum Stores Inc., a long-standing multi-channel vacuum parts and services provider, was experiencing rapid e‑commerce-driven growth and mounting complexity in fulfillment. The company lacked a functioning warehouse management or inventory system, relied on memory to locate stock, and faced severe warehouse inefficiencies, so with guidance from UPS Customer Solutions they chose Deposco’s cloud-based Warehouse Management, Inventory Management and Distributed Order Management solutions.

Deposco implemented a tailored WMS and inventory/order-management platform integrated with UPS shipping services, automating slotting, replenishment, backorders and shipping label generation. The result: real-time inventory visibility supporting growth from ~7,000 to 23,000 SKUs, a 20% increase in daily shipments, a >300% increase in pick lines per hour (from ~13.3 to 43), a 40% reduction in order-fulfillment time, faster purchasing (12 hours to 1–2 hours) and average lead times down to 6–7 days.
