Case Study: Crutchfield achieves faster fulfillment and lower labor costs with PeakLogix automation

Crutchfield - Customer Case Study

Crutchfield, an e-commerce electronics retailer, needed to support business growth while maintaining customer service and improving fulfillment efficiency within its existing 40,000 sq. ft. distribution center. PeakLogix helped address these operational challenges by designing an automation solution that included MDR conveyor, pick divert technology, and warehouse control software.

PeakLogix implemented a two-phase solution that streamlined picking and removed a shipping bottleneck by upgrading conveyor, refurbishing an existing sorter, and installing new print-and-apply systems and conveyor controls. The results included a 25% gain in picking throughput, nearly $250,000 in annual savings, a 60% reduction in replenishment time, and a doubling of shipping throughput from 19 to 38 cases per minute, with ROI expected within three years.
