Case Study: Zebra Technologies achieves 500% ROI and 40% warehouse space savings with Oracle Warehouse Management

Zebra Technologies Gains Strategic Operations Improvement and Achieves 500% ROI with Integrated Fulfillment Operations and Real-Time Location Tracking

Zebra Technologies, a global leader in asset‑tracking solutions (bar code, RFID, RTLS, mobile computing and printers), needed to replace aging, siloed distribution and manufacturing systems to support a shift toward integrated fulfillment. The company faced complex inbound/outbound/reverse logistics, higher product serialization and configuration demands, contractual order cut‑off SLAs, poor labor productivity and constrained warehouse space that limited growth.

Zebra implemented a single operational platform using Oracle Warehouse Management, Oracle Depot Repair and Oracle Discrete Manufacturing integrated with Zebra scanners, mobile printers and Real‑Time Location Systems. The integrated fulfillment solution automated RFID receiving, accelerated material movement (saving about 450 labor hours per month), improved order cut‑off performance, optimized staging to reduce warehouse footprint by 40% (avoiding expansion and achieving payback in six months) and delivered a 500% ROI over five years.
