Case Study: Nassau Provisions achieves 133% pick productivity gain and 76% reduction in labor dependency with Körber AG K.Motion Warehouse Edge & Screen-to-Voice

How a Warehouse Management System and Voice-directed work helped Nassau Provisions mitigate the challenges of elevated demand during a pandemic

Nassau Provisions, a New York-based food distributor, faced critical operational challenges: a paper-based, manual warehouse system, complex holiday product variants (notably during Passover) and surging demand that exposed training and accuracy risks. To modernize operations and handle peak-season and pandemic spikes, Nassau Provisions selected Körber AG and its solutions K. Motion Warehouse Edge and later K. Motion Screen-to-Voice.

Körber AG implemented K. Motion Warehouse Edge in five months and added K. Motion Screen-to-Voice to enable hands-free picking and faster onboarding of temporary staff. The combined solution drove a 133% increase in nightly cases picked (from ~9,000 to ~21,000), cut the picking workforce by 55%, reduced training time by about 50%, and provided the capacity to absorb daily volume swings of 30–40%, while improving accuracy and safety.
