Homeco doubles order fulfillment capacity with second OmniSystem

HomeCo (Owner of Kitch’n, Tilbords and Cervera brands) just doubled the capacity of their order fulfillment with a second OmniSystem! 🎉

‍

‍

Standing on a mezzanine above their first system, deployed 2 years ago, the new OmniSystem uses the same hardware on an identical, 24 sqm footprint, but adds 25% more packing tables.

‍

The same VAS operation for order fulfillment is executed on both OmniSystems, and the AI-driven intelligence balances the load across the two systems.

‍

In addition to the hardware expansion, the software was upgraded over the air to further enhance the operations. The OmniSystems can now prioritize routing of select parcels to select workstations. They can also prioritize select parcels to select operators, independent of which workstation they are stationed at!

‍

Together with custom, ergonomic and sustainable workstations by EMOX, HomeCo now unlocks a new level of flexibility and efficiency in their operations!

‍

‍

Back in 2024, Kitch’n trusted OmniMod, ordered and OmniSystem and put the deployed system straight into Black Week and Christmas peak season. Since then, it has handled 1.3+ million parcels on 99.6% uptime across two years, all on 20% less floor space compared to a conveyor-based alternative. With the OmniSystem, they have doubled the number of colli per FTE per year!

‍

Planning for a future of continued growth, Kitch’n looked at the documented results from operating the OmniSystem and reached the conclusion that an expansion was the natural next step.

‍

‍

Homeco invests in technology which increases their capacity, enhances their material flow and facilitates more scalable logistics operations. For them, investing in the first OmniSystem was a bet on new technology.

‍

Knowing the technology works and delivers cost-savings and increased capacity made the second investment a strategic choice and investment in the business case.

‍

The OmniSystem was not installed to be a one-hit wonder for Homeco.

‍

It built the foundation of a technology platform designed to grow and evolve with them 🚀
