Riding the peaks
How our scalable and efficient AMR solution helped mitigate the challenges of seasonal demand
evo’s founder began selling winter sports clothing and apparel from a dorm room in Seattle nearly twenty years ago. Since then, the company has expanded into surf, cycling, travel and more. It generates over 70% of its revenue through online sales. Evo moved into their new 165,000-square-foot warehouse in 2019, just before that year’s holiday shopping season. To fulfill the anticipated demand, they needed 10–15 extra staff on each of two shifts to pick 11,000 orders a day. They had previously struggled to find temporary workers to meet these huge spikes, which saw peak days that were 10 times higher than its typical sales period. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, shifting the sales focus to online and causing a sudden increase in demand. Read to understand how leveraging AMR increased picking speeds, to drive productivity and efficiency during seasonal peaks while facing the unforeseen challenges of COVID-19.
