Case Study: Educational Development Corporation achieves 77% reduction in fulfillment costs and 4x daily shipment volume with Deposco

EDC closes the book on legacy technology and optimizes new warehouse with Deposco solution

Educational Development Corporation (EDC), the exclusive U.S. trade publisher of a line of U.K. children’s books, faced rapid growth that overwhelmed its legacy systems — a 6,000-orders-per-day capacity, a backlog of over 40,000 orders, and the need to scale into a 230K sq ft warehouse without adding labor. EDC turned to Deposco’s end-to-end supply chain/WMS solution (integrated with Sage X3 ERP) to replace manual, paper-based processes and improve inventory visibility and multi-carrier shipping.

Deposco, backed by a UPS warehouse assessment, implemented a certified solution to optimize receiving, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing and tracking, plus multi-carrier shipping. The result: a 77% reduction in fulfillment costs, a 4x increase in daily shipment volume, throughput of over 10,000 orders per shift, a move from three shifts to two, zero backlog and over 98% order accuracy — enabling EDC to scale profitably and earn Top 10 Fastest Growing Retailer recognition.
