Retail/CPG: How a New Zealand Fruit Company Cut Costs With EPC
EastPack, a firm that packs, stores and ships more than 12 million trays of kiwifruit annually to locations worldwide, has rolled out EPC technology across its entire operation. The company has reaped significant benefits during its first season of operation. Compared to last season, EastPack has already shipped 2 million additional trays this year, through increased efficiency in tracking and tracing its pallets of kiwifruit. At the same time, the cost for failing to deliver in full, on time and in spec was reduced by 60 percent; fruit loss for gold kiwifruit has been halved; and the number of forklifts required at the firm's largest site was lowered by 30 percent. Learn how the company achieved these hard benefits, as well as some additional soft benefits. Speaker: Erik Sundermann, Senior Professional Services Consultant, EastPack
