Fragrance Distributor Uses Horizontal Carousels to Speed Order Processing Time

Handling 4,900 SKUs and shipping over 3,000 orders per day, distribution methods for a major fragrance company had changed from full-case shipping to retail distribution centers to split-case picking of individual orders for shipment either directly to stores or to retailer distribution centers. A one workstation consisting of two 65-ft long horizontal carousels to handle the slow moving items was installed. Slow movers are picked by one person from one zone and orders ship within 24-48 hours.
