Parts Town, a food service equipment parts distributor, experienced 20-30 percent annual growth that exposed critical limitations in its legacy WMS, including slow pick-ticket printing, lack of configurability, and rising error rates. After selecting Körber K. Motion Warehouse Advantage, the company built an internal configuration team that implemented forced verifications, combo barcodes, and RF-driven process changes. The upgrades supported same-day shipping for orders placed before 9 p.m. EST, eliminated downtime during go-live, and delivered measurable gains in speed and accuracy across a 250,000 sq ft facility processing 70,000-80,000 daily transactions.

Key takeaways

Legacy WMS performance and inflexibility constrained growth and increased human error.

Körber K. Motion Warehouse Advantage enabled rapid internal configuration without vendor delays.

Combo barcodes and forced verification steps cut scans and reduced packing errors.

Inventory accuracy rose more than 30 percent and picking productivity rose more than 20 percent.

Same-day fulfillment for late-day orders was maintained with zero go-live downtime.
