Case Study: Huhtamaki improves productivity and reduces stock losses with SnapFulfil

Huhtamaki increases warehouse productivity with best-of-breed cloud WMS

Huhtamaki, a Finnish foodservice packaging company with a turnover in excess of €2bn globally, was using a basic warehouse system and paper picking at its Gosport plant. That approach made stock effectively invisible when operators picked from the first available location instead of the system-directed one, and the operation was struggling to get orders out on time and in full.

Huhtamaki chose SnapFulfil’s warehouse management system for its Tier 1 functionality, rapid implementation and No Capex model. After a six-month implementation, the company reported a ~30% increase in productivity, a 20% reduction in headcount, the removal of its night shift, a 99% reduction in stock losses, and around a 10% improvement in OTIF performance, with first-year net savings of £84,000 and total net returns in years 2 and 3 exceeding £240,000.
