How a Marine Supplier Scaled to 9,000 SKUs—Without Expanding Their Warehouse
This boat parts distributor scaled to 9,000 SKUs, eliminated overtime, and improved picking speed—with no warehouse expansion.
Too many SKUs. Not enough space. Rising labor demands.
Byggplast & Båtprylar, a marine and e-commerce parts supplier, faced the same challenge as many parts teams today. Their warehouse was outgrowing its shelving, and expansion wasn’t an option.
Their solution? Seven Compact Twin Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) paired with an integrated warehouse system. The result: faster picking, fewer errors, and no need for more space or staff.
No room to grow? This marine supplier scaled to 9,000 SKUs and doubled picking speed—without expanding their warehouse.
