Church Brothers Farms needed a faster, more efficient way to move product through the warehouse and onto the road. With Famous WMS Assign Loaders, the team transitioned to a more automated, paperless loading process that reduced manual coordination and helped streamline picking, loading and shipping.
The Challenge: Faster Loading with Less Manual Coordination
Church Brothers Farms wanted to reduce the manual coordination involved in warehouse loading while helping teams work from more timely, reliable information. The goal was a more streamlined process that could keep product moving through the warehouse and onto the road.
How Famous WMS Streamlines the Loading Process
Automated Loader Assignment
Famous WMS Assign Loaders automatically assigns the next loader based on priority criteria, reducing the effort required for forklift drivers to determine what to work on next and supporting more efficient use of the available workforce.
Paperless Loading
Loaders receive their assigned orders directly on WMS devices, eliminating the need to print and manage loading tickets and helping create a cleaner, more streamlined warehouse process.
Faster, More Accurate Shipping
More timely and reliable data helps improve order accuracy, while more efficient loading helps trucks move in and out faster, supporting greater speed to market.
What Church Brothers Farms Says
“WMS users have gone from around 6.5 to 7.4 SKUs scanned per hour since starting paperless in January, which is a huge increase in productivity. This means faster loading of trucks, decreased costs, and a cleaner warehouse with lower inventory.”
