Background
More Speed. Better Flow. Room to Grow.
When a leading regional Northeastern department store retailer set out to modernize its distribution operations, the goal was clear: move more product, more efficiently, without disrupting daily operations.
The retailer turned to Lift, Inc., a Speedrack stocking distributor with coverage across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, for local expertise and fast response. Working alongside the other project partners, Lift and Speedrack delivered the pallet racking systems behind a more efficient, streamlined distribution environment.
The result: better product flow, faster throughput, and a distribution center built to keep pace with evolving fulfillment demands.
The Challenge
Increase Throughput –
Move more inventory faster while maintaining accuracy and service levels.
Modernize Operations –
Upgrade aging infrastructure to support changing fulfillment demands.
Maintain Daily Operations –
Transform the facility without disrupting the flow of product.
Features
Selective Pallet Racking
Accessible, flexible storage designed for a high-volume retail environment.
Optimized Storage Layout
Rack configurations designed to improve product flow, replenishment, and order fulfillment.
Integration Design
Storage coordinated with new conveyance and sortation systems for a more efficient operation.
Built to Perform
Speedrack’s engineered rack systems brought the strength, durability, and flexibility required for a high-volume retail distribution environment.
More Storage. Less Aisle.
Transitioned to Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) to increase storage density within the existing footprint.
SOlutions
The modernized facility gave the retailer a faster, more efficient distribution environment with improved product flow, fewer operational bottlenecks, and greater capacity to meet changing demands. And the benefits weren’t short-lived.
More than two years after installation, the system continues to deliver, helping the retailer move inventory efficiently, support employee satisfaction, and also provide flexibility for future growth.
Successful warehouse projects take more than great products. They take the right partners.
