Post, using RF technology, picks, packs and distributes dry groceries, chilled groceries, frozen food, meat, cheeses, deli, fresh produce, beer, wine and spirits, and then ships direct to consumers.
"Proper planning and testing was worth its weight in gold, ensuring a seamless implementation that was within budget and precisely focused on our business objectives," said Gerry Anneveldt, National Manager for Post Fulfilment Online.

Post implemented the MARC WMS in their Sydney facility to improve their warehouse efficiencies and the ability of their facility to fulfil the rapidly increasing volume of consumer orders. The objectives of the implementation were to increase order throughput, as well as inventory and order accuracy, while reducing labor costs.
