B2B Distribution

Accelerate warehouse productivity and adapt to a shifting B2B landscape with flexible fulfillment automation

Stay ahead of tight SLAs and labor scarcity

With labor challenges (hiring, training and retaining) and shortened SLAs, B2B distributors have to efficiently fulfill orders to satisfy customers and earn their return business.

B2B distributors are moving away from manual fulfillment processes and static, legacy automation in favor of flexible solutions that can scale and adjust to their needs.

6 River Systems' floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall fulfillment capabilities, including our collaborative mobile robot, Chuck, can help B2B distributors attract, train and retain associates, lower the cost of fulfillment, and deliver a best-in-class customer experience.

Attract, train and retain associates

It's difficult to hire and wages are increasing, which means training and time to productivity are more expensive. Not only is Chuck a magnet for new talent, but training time is reduced to minutes.

With 6 River Systems' system-directed picking to guide associates through more efficient and accurate pick runs, and Chuck eliminating the need to push or pull a heavy cart over the "long walk," it's also easier to keep your team happy and healthy.

“We’ve never had anything that would allow the people or management to be able to see what we were doing. I’ll be working on the dashboards and I’ll feel that somebody is behind me - it’s somebody looking to see what their numbers are.”
