Intralogistics Solutions: Reduce Errors, Lower Costs and Increase Productivity

The Odom Corporation, an Alaska-based beverage distributor with locations in Washington, Idaho and Hawaii, drove business growth by strategically investing in technologies that reduce errors, lower costs and increase productivity. Working closely with Odom, Raymond’s intralogistics solutions were able to increase visibility, consistency and connectivity.

The iWAREHOUSE® Fleet and Warehouse Optimization System allowed Odom to gather valuable information directly from its fleet, assets and workforce to enhance efficiency and reliability — including optimization opportunities that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.

From initial implementation, Odom has seen an 86% drop in missing or unaccounted for time—down to 36%.

Raymond’s labor management system provides Odom with clear visibility into where and how labor dollars are being spent so it can quickly and easily analyze costs and identify inefficiencies, such as missing time, at every level of the operation.

The custom-engineered Pick2Pallet system Odom commissioned allows operators to pick three pallets at the same time, instead of just one.

Odom also found that the system reinforces training and improves accuracy by allowing pickers to physically see the pick location illuminated. The Raymond Pick2Pallet system not only allowed Odom to train and develop their pickers, but it also made the training process more efficient.
