Case Study: Parts Town achieves 30% inventory accuracy improvement and 20% picking productivity boost with Körber AG's K. Motion Warehouse Advantage

How a flexible WMS improved warehouse accuracy and efficiency during rapid business growth

Parts Town, a 250,000 sq. ft. food-service equipment parts distributor, outgrew its legacy warehouse management system as rapid, long‑term growth strained system performance, flexibility and support. Facing slowed pick-ticket printing, rising human error and the need to meet a strict same‑day shipping cutoff, Parts Town evaluated WMS providers and selected Körber AG’s K. Motion Warehouse Advantage to modernize operations.

Körber AG implemented the highly configurable K. Motion Warehouse Advantage WMS with a zero‑downtime go‑live and enabled Parts Town to build custom processes (combo barcodes, forced verifications, RF “back” fixes and routing cross‑checks) that put more control with frontline staff. The solution delivered measurable gains — inventory accuracy improved by about 30% and picking productivity rose roughly 20% — while streamlining training, supporting peak volumes (10,000 orders/day) and allowing Parts Town to scale and customize the system internally.
