WIXOM, MI, August 2025 — ISD has launched OneTouchDistribution, a cutting-edge automation system designed to optimize order fulfillment for case, split-case, and pallet operations. By integrating state-of-the-art storage, retrieval, transportation and processing technologies, the system minimizes labor requirements, enhances accuracy, and maximizes facility space utilization.OneTouchDistribution provides a comprehensive approach to warehouse automation, offering a seamless process from inbound receipt to outbound fulfillment. The system significantly reduces labor requirements by automating receiving, storage and order processing.By leveraging advanced tracking and sequencing, OneTouchDistribution ensures 99.9% percent pick and inventory accuracy while maintaining high throughput, even during peak demand periods. The system’s high-density design allows for the storage of hundreds of thousands of cases or split-case products in a compact footprint, making it an ideal solution for facilities looking to maximize operational efficiency without expanding their physical space."OneTouchDistribution was designed with flexibility and agility at its core," said Ed Romaine, VP of Marketing at ISD. "Every operation has unique challenges, and our system adapts to those needs… whether handling cases, split-cases, or pallets. It allows businesses to scale seamlessly, adjust to shifting demand, and optimize order fulfillment without disruptions. This level of adaptability ensures our clients maintain efficiency, accuracy, and speed, even in the most dynamic distribution environments."The system automates inbound processing by receiving products through lift trucks, autonomous mobile robots, humanoids or Cobots. Once received, items are scanned, recorded, and directed into an automated storage and retrieval system that organizes and tracks each product in real time.Orders are processed based on specific sequencing and fulfillment requirements, ensuring that inventory is retrieved in the optimal sequence for downstream operations. Retrieved products are sent to fully automated or semi-automated picking stations, where they are either picked and sent to a cartonizing area for split-case processing, directly routed to a sorter for case picking or delivered to palletizing and/or an outbound staging area for final shipping.OneTouchDistribution is designed to support a wide range of industries, including food service, ecommerce, pharmaceuticals, industrial distribution, reverse logistics and third-party logistics. Its scalable architecture allows for phased implementation, enabling businesses to integrate automation at their own pace while maintaining ongoing operations.The system’s ability to handle full-case, split-case and pallet orders within a single platform adds to its versatility, making it a viable solution for distribution centers with diverse fulfillment requirements.The system also offers flexibility in order sequencing, allowing products to be picked and processed in a precise order based on weight, fragility, delivery requirements, order cut-off times, and customer preferences. Automated scanning and labeling ensure complete validation before orders leave the facility, reducing errors and increasing efficiency. Likewise, document printers and inserters can be easily integrated into the OneTouchDistribution system for increased revenue generation and reduced labor.With a focus on space optimization, the system minimizes wasted storage areas and maximizes available cubic space, creating a more efficient and cost-effective distribution process.About Integrated Systems Design - ISDIntegrated Systems Design is a comprehensive systems integrator of automated solutions for warehouses, manufacturing, distribution, retail, and wholesale applications, improving processes and productivity while reducing operational costs.

DexoryView has enabled DCL Logistics to save 16 hours per day and increased pallet location accuracy by 14%DCL Logistics, a leading provider of fulfillment and inventory management services for high-growth omni-channel brands, has partnered with Dexory to implement DexoryView, an advanced robotics and data intelligence platform that streamlines and automates inventory audits. Since deploying DexoryView, DCL Logistics has seen a 14% increase in pallet location accuracy and a tenfold improvement in inventory counting speed, enabling the business to save time, costs and eliminate interruptions to its core operations.DCL Logistics supports brands looking to scale quickly without compromising inventory accuracy. Traditionally, continuous cycle counts required significant hours of manual labour to physically verify stock levels and that goods were stored in the right locations. This was a time-intensive process that could disrupt operations. For many brands, inventory is equivalent to cash and accuracy is paramount for confident decision making and financial reporting. In addition to this, end customers have high expectations for accurate and timely order fulfilment, which in turn is key to customer retention.By implementing DexoryView, DCL Logistics now has the ability to perform inventory audits on a daily and weekly basis and provide real-time data to its customers so that they are confident in knowing exactly what inventory they have on hand. This consistency allows DCL Logistics’ customers to ensure that their order fulfillment is uninterrupted, and end-customers receive their products quicker, while DCL Logistics is able to save valuable hours of conducting manual inventory checks.Key results and benefitsSince deploying DexoryView, DCL Logistics has seen the following benefits and impacts to its business: 14% improvement in pallet location accuracy - This has resulted in more consistent and trustworthy inventory data. Ten fold increase in inventory counting speed - compared to drone-based cycle counting which the company trialed previously. 16 hours of labour saved per day - Freeing up the inventory team to focus on higher-value planning and strategic initiatives such as warehouse space optimization and customized customer projects. Less reliance on annual physical inventory counts – Greater trust in product availability allows a reduction in costly, time-intensive annual physical inventory counting, eliminating operational disruptions and improving fiscal accuracy.“DexoryView has allowed us to significantly improve the quality of our inventory accuracy, ensuring that our teams have rich and reliable data at their disposal at the start of every shift ensuring discrepancies are fixed before they have a negative impact on our operations,” says Dave Tu, President at DCL Logistics. “Robotics automation most obviously increases the speed of our daily cycle counting, but it’s the substantial increase in accuracy rates over an accelerated time period that allows our operations to move faster and smarter for our customers, while giving our teams more time focus on higher value initiatives.”The availability of real-time data from the warehouse ensures that DCL Logistics is able to catch and correct discrepancies before they escalate into business disrupting events. This in-turn increases customer satisfaction and confidence that DCL Logistics is the partner of choice for brands looking to scale quickly.“Operating in an environment where accuracy is key, DCL Logistics has shown how automation and real-time data can elevate inventory management to meet the needs of modern commerce,” says Oana Jinga, Chief Commercial and Product Officer at Dexory. “Together with DCL Logistics we are enabling, not just the transformation of how data is used in the warehouse, but allowing the brands they work with to scale confidently with real-time accuracy.About DexoryDexory captures real-time insights into warehouse operations using fully autonomous robots and Artificial Intelligence. Using autonomous technology to unlock data and drive insights through all levels of business operations, helping companies boost their performance and unlock their full potential.
