NAPLES, FL, USA, March 20, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Alpine Supply Chain Solutions, a boutique consulting firm focused on maximizing supply chain investments, today announced the completion of a supply chain execution planning initiative with Ecentria, a top purveyor of high-performance technical gear. The project included a Distribution Network Analysis, a Storage Type Analysis, and a Goods-to-Person (GTP) Evaluation to help Ecentria map out their future distribution network to meet growing e-commerce demand.
When Ecentria’s eBusiness platform experienced 200-300 percent growth in a single calendar year, they knew their unstoppable platform needed an unstoppable distribution network. They tapped Alpine Supply Chain solutions for help scaling to meet e-commerce demand. Alpine used Ecentria’s year-over-year sales data to demonstrate service level improvements and associated costs of adding an additional distribution center (DC) to their network. In the end, the company determined a two DC network and the addition of OPEX Goods to Person technology was the right path forward.
Ecentria will be presenting their success story at ProMat 2023 in Chicago on Monday, March 20, 2023, at 10:30 am in the Emerging Technologies & Sustainability Theater. The session will cover how automated material handling systems and supply chain solutions will help Ecentria increase slotting and picking efficiency, reduce replenishment time and labor, improve space utilization for a reserve storage area, and develop a facility that’s flexible for future growth.
