Case Study: Gist achieves faster, more accurate hands-free stock picking with Ivanti Speakeasy

Tranforming the Supply Chain with Voice-enabled Stock Picking

Gist, a 24/7 UK supply-chain and logistics specialist serving customers like Starbucks, needed to speed up and improve accuracy in warehouse stock picking while keeping training and infrastructure changes to a minimum. Their existing voice solution couldn’t keep pace with pickers who needed hands-free operation—especially in cold storage with gloves—and high staff turnover meant any new tool had to be simple to adopt. Gist selected Ivanti’s Speakeasy for voice-enabled picking and Ivanti Avalanche for mobile device management.

Ivanti implemented Speakeasy with no need for a costly voice server and Avalanche to push software and configurations, getting two devices live in three days and expanding to 12 within six weeks. The Ivanti solution delivered faster, more accurate picking for Gist’s Starbucks account, reduced mislaid devices and tedious keying, met service-level agreements with fewer resources, and produced a rapid return on investment with minimal training required.
