Case Study: Heartland Produce Co. reduces mis-picks and short ships with Produce Pro WMS

Heartland Produce Co. decreases mis-picks by 86% with Produce Pro

Heartland Produce Co., a wholesale produce company, faced significant challenges with its manual, paper-based warehouse operations. These issues included poor inventory accuracy, a high volume of error-prone paper tickets, frequent mis-picks, and an inefficient process for making changes to orders. To overcome these obstacles, they partnered with vendor Produce Pro to implement its Produce Pro Plus WMS product.

By installing Produce Pro Plus WMS and integrating barcode scanners with Motorola handheld computers, Produce Pro automated Heartland's outbound operations. This solution provided supervisors with real-time visibility into workflows and product location. The results were highly successful, including an 86% decrease in mis-picks, a 44% reduction in short ships, automatically tracked picker productivity, and a significant increase in mobile worker efficiency.
