Case Study: ASICS achieves 27% higher productivity with ProGlove

27% increase in productivity in ASICS’ European Distribution Center

ASICS, a global athletic footwear and apparel brand, faced significant challenges in its European distribution centers, including rising labor costs, high employee turnover, and the need for flawless on-time delivery. The company struggled with heavy, non-ergonomic handheld scanners that slowed down processes and increased the risk of injury. To gain better visibility and control over its scanner fleet and improve operations, ASICS turned to vendor ProGlove for an innovative solution.

ProGlove implemented its wearable MARK 2 scanners, which provided a completely hands-free and ergonomic scanning solution for tasks like order picking and returns processing. This technology integrated with ASICS's inventory management system, capturing crucial data for analytics. The results were substantial: a 27% increase in overall productivity and process efficiency, a 15-20% improvement in employee performance, a reduced error rate, and higher employee satisfaction and retention, giving ASICS a competitive edge as an employer.
