A variety of solutions
Global discount grocery chain requires packing efficiency
Our client is a popular, family-owned global discount grocery chain that markets both private label and branded goods. They consistently work with us to receive bulk goods and create variety packs for display ready cases (DRCs).
The challenge
Variety packing can be a detriment to most packing lines. The efficiency of high-speed packing can be lost due to bottlenecking when mixing goods. And mixing goods can make it difficult to maintain food safety guidelines. CAN-DO possesses the ability to pack these goods in multiple temperatures ranging from 38áµ’F, 55áµ’F, and ambient.
The outcome
-
We are currently packing over 20,000 cases per day for multiple customers
-
We contracted with multiple suppliers to receive goods in bulk cases
-
We form DRCs according to the client’s specifications
-
We maintained 100% traceability to meet food safety guidelines
-
We stacked the product to pallet, stretch wrapped each one and returned it to our warehouse, where it enters our onsite consolidation program that encompasses the continental United States
The
solution
We work directly with our client’s suppliers to receive bulk products and then ship the completed variety packs directly to their distribution centers. This eliminates extra shipping and storage costs and creates a more efficient and environmentally-friendly process.
