SiteOne Landscape Supply is a leading provider of high-quality landscaping materials which offer an extensive selection of essential supplies which cater to both residential and commercial landscaping needs. With a broad inventory and a commitment to being a one-stop resource, SiteOne consistently meets the diverse demands of landscaping professionals and homeowners alike. Focused on delivering superior efficiency and upholding a high standard of customer satisfaction, SiteOne identified potential challenges that could impact their service quality and operational flow. Recognizing these challenges, SiteOne took proactive measures by reaching out to Alpine Supply Chain Solutions for help. This collaboration aimed to enhance
SiteOne faced significant challenges, including finding storage for odd-sized items, balancing inventory, and reducing travel time for picking operations. These issues, along with the absence of a structured storage analysis, led to inefficient space utilization, overstocking, shortages, and higher operational costs, ultimately affecting customer service and competitiveness in the landscaping supply market.
The Alpine team worked with SiteOne for 12 weeks across nine phases to design an efficient layout addressing specific operational challenges. Using insights from their storage analysis, they developed a pick and reserve layout tailored to SiteOne’s needs, along with a high-level cost estimate to clarify the logistical and financial aspects of the improvements.
The Alpine team refined data and resolved discrepancies to prepare for a storage type analysis (STA). After assessing SiteOne’s facilities, they developed storage/rack profiles and tailored rack dimensions to fit the building’s specifications. Layout alternatives were created to improve space utilization and efficiency, and a high-level budget estimate was provided, outlining the costs of implementing the recommended solutions.
SiteOne has significantly improved efficiency and maximized space utilization, resulting in improved storage capacity by 20%, right-sizing pick locations, reduced operational costs and a more organized, streamlined warehouse layout. This collaboration enhanced operational efficiency, improved product availability, and positioned SiteOne for future growth and success in the landscape supply industry.
