Voice Solution

Benefits:

Fox was able to greatly increase productivity and accuracy while improving worker satisfaction and reducing training time. This meant:

Picking productivity saw a 50% improvement
Accuracy increased from 82% to almost 100%
Training time decreased from one day to 1.5 hours
ROI was fully realized in 6 months vs. the projected 12 months

We simply did not have the bandwidth to keep pace with the growth or to continue meeting the commitments we had made to our customers. We had been using paper and labels in our picking operation, and RF scanning for putaway and replenishment. We discovered that our paper-based picking system sub-optimized both productivity and accuracy and our RF technology had a number of moving parts that seemed to affect reliability.
