It’s no secret that — reflecting the importance of running water and effective heating and cooling — the plumbing and HVAC supplies industries in the U.S. are essential.
That means vast quantities of piping, ducting and fittings move through the plumbing and HVAC supply chain within homes and businesses, and even construction contractors, every day. It also means there’s a hugely complex distribution system in need of warehouse automation for HVAC and plumbing supplies.
From toilets and tubs to washers and elbows, there’s immense product diversity in every plumbing and HVAC warehouse and distribution operation. Many customer orders have high SKU counts. Maximizing productivity means every order must be picked quickly and accurately.
Accuracy is key to customer satisfaction in plumbing and HVAC warehouse and distribution operations. One wrong part in an order can delay a job and cost the plumber or installer time and money. Technology that minimizes picking mistakes will help keep customers happy while providing you with a rapid ROI.
Order picking speed drives profitability. Warehouse automation for plumbing and HVAC manufacturers and distributors delivers more picks per hour. That’s higher productivity and lower costs. It can even boost employee retention by reducing fatigue, which saves on recruitment and training.
