Retail Distribution
Stores need replenishment that is right, on time and ready for the shelf, while online orders draw on the same distribution centre. Demand is hard to predict and labour is hard to find.
What Retail Distribution operations need from automation
Store-ready, on time
Deliveries have to arrive picked and packed to each store's delivery window.
Demand that moves
Forecasts miss, and the operation has to absorb the swing without overtime.
Walking is the cost
Manual picking spends most of its time travelling between locations.
More stock in the same DC
Density has to rise inside the building the network already relies on.
How we approach it
Goods-to-person picking brings stock to the operator for both case and each picking, so a store order and an online order can be filled from the same system. HaiQ shows inventory in real time, which helps when demand moves faster than the forecast.
We design around your delivery windows first, because a store that receives late has not been served, however fast the picking was.
Configurations we would look at first
A first read. The facility assessment decides which one your order profile and building actually suit.
Figures on the cards are Hai Robotics' published specifications.

Numbers don't lie.
Your data will prove it.
We model your business case from your own order profile, SKU count and peak volumes, not generic benchmarks. If the numbers stack, we'll show you exactly how.
