Casella Family Brands, Australia's largest family-owned winery, replaced legacy manual processes with Manhattan SCALE after acquiring Peter Lehmann Wines and scaling to 12.5 million cases shipped annually. The WMS delivered pallet-level traceability via LPNs, automated container planning for up to 300 shipments in half a day, and enabled wave-based picking across multiple pallet heights. Results included 22% higher warehouse utilization, reduced labor costs, and full transition from paper-based to digital fulfillment.

Key takeaways

Pallet-level LPN tracking replaced lot-level visibility, enabling precise recall capability and reducing compliance risk.

Automated wave planning cut container loading time from manual daily entry to under four hours for 300 shipments.

22% increase in warehouse utilization achieved through optimized slotting and multi-SKU container allocation.

Real-time production-to-warehouse notifications eliminated manual restacking of two pallet heights for 750ml wine.

Export compliance improved via integrated lot and LPN data for audit and recall documentation.
