furthermore the company has reduced the cost of picking orders, increased accuracy, improved OH&S for their people and greatly increased throughput, which will enable it to continue growing the business over the next years.

EziBuy has choosen Dematic as their systems designer and integrator because we were the most experienced when it came to Voice Picking, having supplied hundreds of terminals through the region over the past couple of years. In addition our project management experience was also invaluable when it came to scheduling the various activities that were required to pull a project of this scale into shape in less than 12 months.
