Industrial Distribution
Deep catalogs, small orders, fast counter promises.
Industrial distributors carry catalogs measured in tens of thousands of SKUs against orders measured in single lines. The economics only work when retrieval is fast regardless of how rarely an item moves — which is precisely what random-access automated storage provides.
Operating pressures
- Very deep catalogs with low turns on most SKUs
- Small orders with short promise windows
- Wide variation in item size, weight, and packaging
- Counter and will-call demand competing with shipped orders
Where Inlog fits
- Random access — retrieval time independent of SKU velocity
- High density for slow-moving catalog depth
- Guided picking that reduces reliance on tribal knowledge
- Real-time stock position across channels
