Ballet Jewels

The Client:  A leading designer and marketer of fashion jewelry to mass merchandisers, department stores & specialty retailers with over 5,000 SKUs across various product categories (earrings, bracelets, rings, pins, necklaces).

Client Need:  The client faced challenging demand growth for their increasingly popular costume jewelry products among major retailers, such as the Target Corporation. To meet demand and keep customers satisfied, Ballet Jewels needed a way to rapidly increase the capacity of  their picking operations without sacrificing order accuracy and without increasing labor costs. 

Solution:  Many options were ROI evaluated from 3PL and RF devices to pick-to-light systems. After an intense market analysis and bidding process, Ballet Jewels selected the AL Systems pick-to-light solution which incorporated 300 bin display modules and 4 mobile scanning devices to Ballet Jewels’ existing flow rack configuration. The low impact approach achieved several objectives: fast time to install; maintained a familiar order-fulfillment look and feel to minimize retraining; and minimized MHE modifications.
 
Results:  The high throughput pick system provided by AL Systems resulted in a 40+% picking labor reduction, superior accuracy, and the flexibility to scale rapidly, both as an operation and with client order increases.

"The size of client orders is typically huge and we only have four days maximum to fulfill them. DynaPick will get orders through faster and more efficiently with 40% fewer pickers.   The solution is extremely accurate, and the price of the system just made sense.”
