FASTFETCH
“When we implemented the FastFetch high-speed order fulfillment solution with Ascension Logistics, we saw a 200% increase in lines shipped per hour worked. During last peak season we were able to ship 34% more orders with 15% less labor in our single biggest day. With this system, we now have plans to scale back from 3 full shifts down to 1 12-hour shift during our next peak season. The ROI on the system is unbelievable with a less than 12 month full payback and we are not even fully up and running. Can’t wait to see what a full integration with FastFetch and Ascension Logistics does to our bottom line.”

Putwalls
A put wall is a collection of compartments into which products can be placed as an intermediate step in order fulfillment. When used for e-commerce order fulfillment, for example, each compartment contains a customer order. For store replenishment, put wall compartments contain orders for particular stores. Put walls often employ one side for putting products into compartments and the other side for packing completed orders.

APPLICATIONS
E-commerce order fulfillment
FASTECH's batch picking cart technology often provides an excellent solution to e-commerce order fulfillment. While the highest picking speeds are achieved when both product bays and carts employ lights, our cart-based technology can work without lights on the product bays. Elevated levels of performance can be achieved by using voice to guide the picker, barcode scanning to confirm picks, and light-directed placement of picked items into cart locations. Starting an installation without lights on the product bays often provides an attractive entry point and provides for an incremental growth strategy to meet changing business needs.
Store Replenishment
Store replenishment must be quick and efficient. The best store replenishment strategy for a given DC depends upon the order mix and the nature of the DC itself. In some instances, batch picking carts can be used effectively for store replenishment. In other instances, one or more put walls might provide superior performance. Our put walls can be integrated with our batch picking carts to yield efficient, cost-effective store replenishment solutions.
Returns Processing
The basic challenge is to receive returned products and quickly sort them to small, warehouse put-away location proximities for further processing. This process should be fast, error-free, and low cost. FASTFETCH has developed a returns processing solution using multitiered put walls to quickly sort random collections of returned items and transport them to the target warehouse location proximities (e.g., SKU location, rack, section, aisle, etc.).
