Food Distribution
Nature's Best
The food distribution industry is already dealing with intense regulation and consumer expectations; and with increasing competition and exploding SKUs, how are you supposed to keep up?
Discover how one of our customers was able to add 33-45% more pick positions, increasing their number of SKUs and revenue per square foot – all without a costly facility expansion.
More Pick Positions, More SKUs, More Revenue
Nature’s Best is one of the largest privately owned wholesaler distributors of natural and organic products in the United States. Founded in 1969, the company delivers grocery, refrigerated, frozen, bulk, supplements, personal care, herbs, medicinal and pet products to retailers throughout the Western, Central and Southern regions of the United States, as well as Hawaii, Alaska and Asia.
To house their growing business Nature’s Best begin exploring ways to optimize supply chain and accommodate more SKUs without compromising throughput. The company was aware that their current materials handling equipment was limiting their ability to do this, so turned to Yale for warehouse expertise and product assistance. The results were substantial.
