Case Study: Brakes (a Sysco company) achieves 11% productivity gains, near-100% picking accuracy and faster order fulfillment with Körber AG

Brakes - Customer Case Study

Brakes, a Sysco company and leading supplier of quality food to the catering industry in the UK and France, faced the challenge of efficiently distributing large volumes of often-perishable goods under tight timeframes. To replace slow, error-prone paper-based picking, Brakes engaged Körber AG to implement a voice-enabled warehouse solution, integrating voice picking with its SAP WMS.

Körber AG deployed voice picking at Brakes’ Grantham depot, removing paper from the picking process and streamlining order assembly. The Körber AG solution delivered measurable results: productivity gains in excess of 11%, near 100% order-picking accuracy, and faster order build rates—critical improvements for timely delivery to catering customers.
