Case Study: Gemline achieves automated sample-room and shipping workflows, saving 5 man-hours/day and enabling Kanban replenishment with Radley, LLC

Gemline - Customer Case Study

Gemline, a global supplier of bags and premium business accessories, faced labor‑ and paper‑intensive bottlenecks in its Sample Room and Shipping Department that left staff tied to desktops and prone to errors. Orders were batched, pick lists and deliveries were created manually in IFS, and shipping required multiple screens and rework—creating wasted time and inconsistent shipping data until they engaged Radley, LLC and its IFS/DC workforce productivity tools.

Radley, LLC implemented its IFS/DC solution with PC workstations, Intermec scanners/printers and an automated “watchdog” process to create pick lists, pick/deliver lines and print labels automatically, plus a one‑screen shipping flow. The automation cut shipping processing time in half, prints sample orders every four minutes (yielding a reported savings of about 5 man‑hours per day), enabled a Kanban replenishment and increased hang‑tagging to 100% (from under 20%), while surfacing errors immediately for faster resolution.
