Add more SKUs, not bottlenecks

The European beverage market is experiencing an average growth rate of 5% year on year. Is your operation ready to meet this demand?

Challenges

Transform your greatest challenges into opportunities

Consumer demands are driving the beverage industry to push operations both in the facility and on the delivery route.

SKU Proliferation

Consumer demand continues to drive unprecedented levels of SKU proliferation in the beverage industry – an item out-of-stock is still not an option.

Take charge of the invasion

  • Use variable height picking processes to increase SKU capacity
  • Place slower-moving SKUs above faster-moving ones for efficient access to frequently picked items
  • Add case flow lanes to pick lines to accommodate more SKUs
Beat the SKU influx

Delivery expectations

Increased urbanisation is pushing drivers to squeeze more stops into tighter delivery windows.

Exceed delivery demands

  • Stay charged longer and up to 2x faster with lithium-ion batteries
  • Help to empower your operator with greater maneuverability in tight spaces
  • Reduce stress and stabilise loads to help optimise control and operator confidence
