Retrofitting an existing warehouse into a state-of-the-art facility required pre-order equipment, such as a state-of-the-art garment carousel that can track, store and distribute more than 2 million garments.

Forward thinking led to streamlined operations, reduced manpower and optimized facility efficiency. It also allowed the team to move quickly once the final installation location was selected.
