Case Study: Tastefully Simple achieves rapid operational agility and faster order fulfillment with Softeon WMS

Tastefully Simple - Customer Case Study

Tastefully Simple, a direct-selling gourmet foods company headquartered in Alexandria, MN with 24,000 sales consultants and 10,000–20,000 small parcel shipments per day, faced rapid sales growth that required DC process modernization and a scalable WMS. They chose Softeon and its Warehouse Management System plus Assembly & Kitting to improve capacity utilization, picking efficiencies (pick-to-light and batch), kitting, lot tracking, cartonization, and integration with their existing IT environment.

Softeon implemented a flexible, rules-driven WMS focused on order flexibility, picking efficiencies and faster conveyor transactions, plus real-time kitting and inventory accuracy. The result was a state-of-the-art warehouse with end-to-end visibility and tailored pick routes; in the first 30 days after go-live Tastefully Simple made more major configuration changes than in the prior five years. Softeon’s solution delivered faster automated conveyor processing, improved assemble-to-order and multi-level BOM management, straightforward kitting with full lot tracking, and a reduced IT footprint.
