Case Study: Kookaburra Educational Resources boosts kitting output with OPEX Sure Sort

Kookaburra Educational Resources cuts labour needs by 65% with OPEX Corporation

Kookaburra Educational Resources, one of Australia's largest wholesale education suppliers, faced a challenge with its completely manual kitting process for student supply packs. This labor-intensive system struggled with increased online orders during the pandemic, fulfilling only about 300 packs per day. Kookaburra partnered with vendor OPEX Corporation to find an automated solution to reduce fulfillment time and labor dependency.

OPEX implemented its Sure Sort automated sorting system, which took approximately three months to install. The solution dramatically reduced the required labor by 65%, increased sorting rates to 2,400 items per hour, and enabled the creation of over 700 order packs per day. This automation also led to a significant reduction in the cost per order for Kookaburra.
