Blue Sky Distribution Supports Ecommerce Hypergrowth with Descartes Solution
July 20 2022 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that New Mexico-based grocery and convenience item distributor Blue
Sky Distribution is managing rapid ecommerce growth and extreme
peaks in order volumes using the Descartes OzLink™ Mobile Warehouse
solution. Fully integrated with NetSuite ERP, the Descartes
solution helped Blue Sky to scale fulfillment while leveraging
granular operational data to optimize returns management, sales
forecasting and warehouse staff retention initiatives.
“We pride ourselves on providing customers with quality products
and premium services—delivering goods on time and maintaining high
fill rates to satisfy customer expectations,” said Robert Poole,
CEO and President, Blue Sky Distribution. “As our ecommerce
business began to skyrocket, especially during intense seasonal
spikes in demand, the Descartes solution allowed us to manage the
growing volume and ensure a positive customer experience.”
Poole continued, “Using Descartes OzLink, we replaced manual
picking with mobile, barcode-enabled fulfillment workflows that
increased efficiency, boosted performance and ensured the right
items, in the right quantity, leave our warehouse in a timely
manner. We also now have deep operational visibility into critical
picking, receiving, and returns data—such as category and vendor
fill rates, and insights into how many orders each employee
picked—to improve inventory control, forecast more accurately, and
enable us to offer incentive-based remuneration to warehouse staff
to bolster retention.”
Descartes OzLink Mobile Warehouse helps distribution-intensive
companies streamline and scale the order fulfillment process to
drive growth and manage peak season volumes while minimizing
warehouse costs. With efficient and accurate order picking,
companies reap the rewards of increased productivity and an
elevated customer experience.
“We’re pleased to help Blue Sky effectively scale its
fulfillment operations for its rapidly expanding ecommerce
business,” said Troy Graham, Vice President, Ecommerce at
Descartes. “Our growing suite of ecommerce solutions facilitates
logistics excellence from sale to delivery, helping distributors
and retailers grow ecommerce revenue and profitably scale their
warehouse and shipping operations.”
