Overview
Peak season used to mean hundreds of temporary workers and crossed fingers. Cargon rebuilt its fulfillment floor to handle volume on its own.
Every year, Cargon scaled for peak by hiring fast and hoping the floor held. Mis-ships climbed and the team burned out by December.
The bottleneck
Manual sorting and routing couldn't flex with demand. When a lane jammed, the whole floor slowed while people scrambled to reroute.
Integration, not replacement
Precept added autonomous material handling into Cargon's existing floor. The system maps the space and reroutes itself the moment a lane backs up.
The result
Cargon moved more orders per hour through peak with fewer mis-ships, and for the first time, without living at the warehouse.
