The leak

What it looked like before. In their words.

FULFILLMENT
The paper pick list

Printed in the morning, marked up by hand, wrong by the afternoon wave.

PAPER
The error found late

A wrong pick discovered at the customer's dock costs the pick, the truck, and the apology.

FOUND LATE
The floor nobody could see

60,000 square feet of inventory moving with no live record of what left the shelf.

NO RECORD
The build

What shipped

Every pick is scanned and confirmed at the shelf, where the error happens.

The tablet rides the forklift. A pick isn't done until the scan matches the line, so the mistake gets caught in the aisle instead of on a customer's dock. Pick errors run at 0.4%. Shipped day 21.

We built a custom AI solution. The app was written and tested against their own pick data, then handed over running on the client’s own tablets.
