Club Store Partners with KANE to Operate High-Velocity Cross-Dock
March 14, 2013
Solution: Key components of the solution: Case pick operations replenish less-than-pallet quantity orders. KANE handles this labor-intensive process at the cross dock and sends consolidated, mixed vendor pallets to the store to reduce local labor; Store-level quality checks eliminated. KANE's initial quality check at the cross dock proved so accurate that the retailer decided to eliminate this step at the store, saving $14 million across its network.; Bar code speeds store-level receiving. Prior to shipment, KANE generates a bar code label that affixes a dollar amount to the load and, upon receipt, the information downloads into the stores local inventory system.
Results: KANE has received the retailer's Distribution Center of the Year award 9 times.
