Clipper Distributing, a St. Joseph, Missouri animal pharmaceutical wholesaler, implemented AccellosOne Warehouse Management System in 2009 to replace 20-year-old manual procedures. The 37,000 sq ft facility handles 1,400+ generic and branded SKUs across pallet, case, and carousel zones with refrigerated and controlled substance storage. Integration with Microsoft Dynamics eliminated paper receiving documents and pick tickets while enabling RF-directed blind picking and real-time inventory allocation.

Key takeaways

Paper-based receiving and picking processes replaced with RF scanning and barcode workflows

Blind picking via wearable scanners eliminated lot number verification errors and increased pick rates

Real-time order allocation and bin monitoring removed manual letdown bottlenecks

Carousel integration enabled efficient each and low-volume case picking for changing order patterns

New temporary workers reached full productivity same day versus six-month learning curve previously
