Case Study: Heartland Produce Co. achieves 86% fewer mis-picks and better warehouse visibility with Produce Pro

Heartland Produce Co. - Customer Case Study

Heartland Produce Co., a full-line produce wholesaler serving retailers in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, needed better control and visibility over a high-volume warehouse operation that relied on about 300 paper tickets a day. Manual picking, order changes, checking, and loading were time-consuming and error-prone, creating challenges with mis-picks, shortages, lot tracking, and correct truck loading.

Produce Pro implemented the Produce Pro Plus Warehouse Management System with barcode scanning and Motorola handheld devices to automate outbound picking, checking, and loading. The solution gave supervisors real-time visibility and automated work assignments, helping reduce mis-picks by 86% and short ships by 44%, while also automatically tracking picker productivity and improving workflow efficiency.
