The Challenge

A Live Site, Tens of Thousands of Locations.

A large distribution site needed every racking and shelving location identified, fast. Picking had to carry on throughout, and the location file needed checking before anything could go to print.

  • LocationsTens of thousands
  • ConstraintLive picking, no downtime
  • Starting pointUnchecked location file

Our Approach

Check, Design, Proof, Install.

We took the client location file and checked every single location for gaps and discrepancies. Our in-house designers built each label with the right codes, colours and arrows, then sent proofs for test scanning before anything was printed.

  1. Step 01 Location file checked Every location verified for gaps.
  2. Step 02 Proofs test-scanned Signed off before printing.
  3. Step 03 Printed in Britain Laminated, built to last.
  4. Step 04 Installed live Managed teams, RAMS on site.

The Result

Scannable From Day One.

65,000 labels manufactured in Britain and installed by our managed teams on a live site. Pickers had scannable, colour-coded locations from day one, with no disruption to day-to-day operations.

“Every location labelled, proofed and live without stopping the floor.”
