ER2 implements Descartes solution across eight fulfillment centers
Descartes Systems Group (NASDAQ: DSGX) announced that ER2, an Arizona-based IT asset management company, has deployed the Descartes Sellercloud solution across eight facilities to manage inventory, warehouse operations and shipping on a unified platform.
ER2 reported a 75% improvement in picking speed and reduced shipping costs for approximately 40% of orders through the implementation. The company said the solution minimized cross-shipping errors through bin-controlled inventory and barcode validation systems.
"As we expanded to eight warehouses to support growth across ecommerce, business-to-business and third-party logistics provider channels, managing listings, inventory and shipping across three separate platforms created fulfillment delays, manual errors and limited operational visibility," said Ben Peters, Director of Innovation and Client Solutions at ER2.
The Mesa, Arizona-based company, founded in 2012, provides IT asset management services to enterprises and healthcare systems. ER2 also refurbishes and remarkets enterprise IT equipment.
The Descartes Sellercloud platform includes guided picking workflows and intelligent routing logic that fulfills orders from the warehouse closest to customers. The system reduced shipping distances and delivery times to one to two days for many orders.
Descartes Sellercloud offers inventory and order management capabilities for small and mid-market retailers, distributors and wholesalers. The platform includes over 350 integrations with marketplaces including Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, WooCommerce and TikTok.
"For sellers, centralized inventory visibility and intelligent routing can significantly reduce errors, lower fulfillment costs and support faster delivery expectations while also minimizing unnecessary transportation," said Mikel Richardson, General Manager, Ecommerce at Descartes.
