The Challenge

Total Life Changes, a rapidly growing dietary supplement company, was facing operational challenges due to the lack of an official system for order fulfillment. The company was relying on outdated paper and pencil processes, which made refilling stations and batch printing full-time jobs. The team was unable to send out partial shipments and had no established rules for international shipping, a significant part of their business. Furthermore, the company frequently promotes products with mega sales, causing orders to triple their normal daily volume. During these sales, the team had to work overtime and bring in extra people to fulfill orders. They needed a system that could handle these fluctuations but also work efficiently during times of normal volume.

About The Customer

Total Life Changes is a dietary supplement company with a mission to bring awareness to people about health and wellness. The company has been growing rapidly and has a large international customer base. They frequently promote their products with mega sales, which significantly increases their order volume. However, before implementing Deposco Bright Warehouse, they were using outdated paper and pencil processes for order fulfillment, which were inefficient and unable to handle the fluctuations in order volume.

The Solution

Total Life Changes implemented Deposco Bright Warehouse to streamline their operations. This system advanced the cartonization process, enabling packers to work more efficiently by always using the perfect-sized box. The company also implemented all their international shipping rules into the system, improving their compliance with FDA regulations and international shipping rules for the many countries they ship to globally. With this new system, the team can now handle large fluctuations in orders during massive sales with the same amount of staff, eliminating the need for overtime and additional personnel.

Operational Impact

  • The implementation of Deposco Bright Warehouse has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Total Life Changes. The advanced cartonization process has made the packers' work more efficient, and the implementation of international shipping rules has improved compliance with FDA regulations and international shipping rules. The system has also enabled the team to handle large fluctuations in order volume during massive sales with the same staff, eliminating the need for overtime and additional personnel. This has not only improved the company's operational efficiency but also its ability to meet customer demand in a timely manner.

Quantitative Benefit

  • 2x increase in picking efficiency

  • 50% decrease in time to fulfill orders

  • 3x increase in volume with same staff during massive sales

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

Case Study
3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
