Case Study: Giant Eagle achieves 20–30% reduced putaway travel and 35–45% higher hi-lift efficiency with Seegrid VGVs

Giant Eagle - Customer Case Study

Giant Eagle, a large supermarket chain, was struggling with wasted travel time, high manned putaway travel, safety concerns, product damage, and non-value-added work in its distribution operations. To address these challenges, Giant Eagle engaged Seegrid and deployed Seegrid VGVs (vision-guided vehicles) to automate material movement and reduce reliance on manual travel.

Seegrid’s VGVs were implemented to handle putaway and hi-lift tasks, which delivered measurable benefits: 20–30% reduced manned putaway travel, 35–45% increased hi-lift efficiency, improved safety, reduced product damage, and less non-value-added work—helping Giant Eagle cut costs and boost operational performance.
