Case Study: Thrive Market achieves faster e-commerce fulfillment with Swisslog

Thrive Market cuts ground shipment time from 3 days to 2 with Swisslog Holding

Thrive Market, a fast-growing US e-commerce company specializing in health foods, faced the challenge of scaling its distribution operations to keep pace with its rapid growth. The company partnered with Swisslog to design and implement a new distribution center that required a moderate capital investment while providing flexibility and scalability.

Swisslog implemented a solution featuring Warehouse Execution Software for conveyor control and picking optimization, along with new conveyors and technology. This included equipping employees with wrist-mounted screens and finger-mounted scanners. The results were significant, including a 20 percent productivity increase in picking, simplified replenishment, and increased capacity. Crucially, Swisslog's solution enabled Thrive Market to reduce ground shipment time to the Eastern US by one day, a vital improvement for its e-commerce success.
