Technicolor

Solving peak period warehouse challenges

Challenge

Worldwide technology leader in the media and entertainment sector Technicolor, has seen rapid growth in its distribution business in recent years.

Designed to provide scalable solutions to support major product launches, Technicolor’s distribution services ensure that direct-to-consumer orders are fulfilled and shipped.

To more effectively manage fulfilment of the seasonal and market-related spikes in eCommerce sales, Technicolor required a streamlined packing process to be implemented at its warehouse in Rugby.

Solution

Breathe recommended the design and delivery of a semi-automated pack and despatch solution.

Five Autobag PS125 machines were recommended to semi-automate the process of packing, label printing and application, concluding with order sealing.

Utilising Breathe Pack, our smart warehouse packing software platform ensured the business was able to optimise it’s packing productivity and reduce errors.

Impact

Breathe Pack now manages the packing and labelling processes, delivering efficiencies for the business’ eCommerce order fulfilment, including;

  • Single SKU order processing
  • Existing host system integration providing carrier label and consignment data
  • Simple user interface to guide pack process and highlight order issues
  • Simple Supervisor application to allow for fault correction and order issues
  • Greater productivity reducing the impact caused by staff errors
