Food distribution
Magne is a distributor of food products (dry, fresh and frozen) that supplies 600 customers, 2 to 3 times a week, across 12 départements. With 250 orders prepared each day, often made up of numerous small lines, the challenge was to make order picking more reliable while maintaining impeccable service. It was in this demanding environment that Balea deployed its put-to-light solution combined with voice picking.
