You'll hear about how this operation leveraged Lully's Optimizer (API service) to

  • Achieve 99% On-Time shipping
  • Eliminate the need for manual wave creation
  • Unblock their WMS by shifting heaving processing to Lully
  • Enable their team to focus on replenishment to keep the floor moving
  • Minimize location visits and decrease walking

    • "In our last peak season before Lully, on our peak day, we shipped 29,000 orders with 60 temporary workers. This peak, with Lully, we shipped roughly 28,000 orders with 20 less people."
