Supporting Client Sustainability Goals

How do we enable brands to increase sustainability across their operations 

  • Paperless Picking: This eco-friendly method eliminates the need for paper during the picking process. Instead, the picking list is replaced with an electronic shelf display. Not only does this ensure less waste, but it increases productivity Search time is kept to a minimum, the system is continuously being updated electronically, reducing errors along with the inventory being updated swiftly. Not to mention, it is quick to learn, reducing induction and training times for employees. 
  • Creating Optimum Solutions for Brands: If a brand comes to us with a need for more sustainable packaging, we can work alongside our provider to re-design their packaging. Using the exact sizes, considering the time taken to follow the packing process, and working to minimize time and materials, while optimizing efficiency. 
  • Sourcing: We source recycled and recyclable packaging materials for our clients. 
  • Right Size Packaging: We pack items in boxes built to fit them. With less excess and unneeded space in the package, there is much less chance of breakage, which also reduces returns. Right size packaging allows us to fit more onto the delivery trucks, meaning less trucks on the road and increased efficiency. 
  • Water Activated Tape: This is a paper-based tape, which bonds strongly to packaging. It is nearly impossible to rip and tough to puncture. So not only is this a recyclable and more sustainable option than traditional plastic tape, but it is also tamper proof, making it a more secure option. 
  • Technology: Our warehouse management technology can support your brands eco-friendly packaging check-out options. You can now give your customers the option to choose more sustainable packaging, such as simplified packaging that reduces waste compared to the standard high-end brand packaging. 

We are always willing to discuss new ideas with our clients and implement new measures within our processes. Sustainable development options are constantly evolving, and by keeping up with these changes, we can stay at the cutting edge of sustainable solutions.
