Case Study: Lindt & Sprüngli achieves 5× throughput and lower processing & labor costs with Invata Intralogistics' FastTrak waveless picking

Lindt & Sprüngli - Customer Case Study

Lindt & Sprungli, a 165‑year‑old premium chocolate producer, faced an overstretched U.S. distribution operation that couldn’t keep pace with growth, meet wholesaler/retailer compliance labeling demands, or provide lot‑level traceability while still using its JD Edwards ERP. To fill WMS/WCS gaps, improve productivity, reduce labor and processing costs, and ensure compliance, Lindt engaged Invata Intralogisitcs and its FastTrak warehouse software and control systems.

Invata Intralogisitcs deployed a FastTrak‑directed waveless picking and automation solution—Pick‑to‑Light pick lines, a sliding‑shoe sorter, extensive conveyors, print‑and‑apply labeling, FastTrak WMS/WCS/Middleware and Visualization integrated with JD Edwards—to enable FEFO lot tracking, paperless pallet building, dynamic lane allocation, and selective compliance labeling. The system achieved over 100 parcels per minute throughput, enabled a five‑fold increase in Lindt’s U.S. business, reduced processing costs and labor needs, and provided real‑time visibility plus remote 24/7 support.
