Beer & Wine Distributors

Space matters

Abel Womack specializes in helping beer distributors and breweries store many SKUs in a smaller footprint. We are aware of the growing concerns in the beer distribution industry. These include space availability that the proliferation of SKUs is causing distribution centers across the U.S. Abel Womack has focused on uncovering a solution for this growing problem, and we believe we have it.

If you are experiencing this storage space dilemma, we are well-positioned to assist our customers with expansion and storage solutions. We have included case studies below, which reveal innovative ideas that could help you with a potentially growing storage space problem.

The challenge for you to quickly access the correct SKU at the right time with the least amount of resources is integral to our solutions. We combine leading-edge storage and retrieval technologies with our decades of warehouse engineering to provide you with a solution that saves your company time and money while ensuring that your customers get the freshest product quickly, accurately, and efficiently. 

Visual order fulfillment

Another challenge beverage distributors may face is increasing productivity and reducing picking errors in batch-picking operations. One solution is the Pick2Pallet LED light system. It is designed to help reduce picking errors in batch picking applications by using LED technology to reinforce product placement for order fulfillment visually. Pick2Pallet maximizes operator productivity by directing operators to the desired customer pallet, enabling them to move confidently to the next pick quickly.

Picking the perfect order

Let’s not forget about SKU proliferation. With a growing variety of products, the challenge to manage and move a larger, more diverse inventory continues to impact warehouse operations. Voice technology addresses the challenges arising from increasing SKUs in the beverage warehouse.

Voice technology can help operations make the most of DC and warehouse space, avoid housing excess inventory, and ultimately distribute goods more quickly. Accuracy is critical to maximizing throughput volume with a more extensive inventory of SKUs. Voice drastically reduces the risk of error in picking processes and achieves a 99.995 percent accuracy rate. The result is delivering the perfect order and maintaining high customer satisfaction.
