Case Study: Coca-Cola Amatil achieves consolidated New Zealand distribution, lower operating costs and 99% case fill with Swisslog Holding

Coca-Cola Amatil - Customer Case Study

Coca-Cola Amatil faced the challenge of consolidating North Island warehouse activity into a single Auckland site to reduce operating costs, improve uptime and inventory accuracy, and future-proof for growth while maintaining very high pick accuracy and responsiveness. Having previously worked with Swisslog, Coca-Cola Amatil engaged Swisslog Holding to deliver an automated intralogistics solution that would include a Warehouse Management System (WMS), paperless/voice picking, wireless integration with material-handling equipment and outsourced 24/7 maintenance.

Swisslog Holding implemented a single-point-of-control automated DC with AS/RS cranes, conveyors, WMS and voice picking, plus continuous onsite maintenance and process optimization. The solution delivered world-class throughput (designed for up to 264,800 cases/day), drove pick accuracy to industry-leading levels (returns around 1%) and achieved a 99% case fill rate, enabling faster same‑day order response and earning Swisslog repeated recognition as Coca-Cola Amatil’s Supplier of the Year.
