Fulfillment Center Automation: Why Throughput Analysis Should Precede Any Technology Investment

We Only Thought We Knew

We engaged Jon Siffing from DMG as a consulting partner to help evaluate and optimize our shipping network strategy, and the results exceeded our expectations.

Our team was struggling to keep pace with a constant influx of customer data and ongoing updates from our parcel carriers. The project had become increasingly complex, resulting in scope creep, repeated restarts, and difficulty maintaining focus on our long-term objectives.

Jon brought clarity and structure to the process. During our strategic planning sessions, he provided valuable insights, challenged our assumptions, and kept us focused on the decisions that would deliver the greatest return on investment. His guidance helped us evaluate each opportunity through both an operational and financial lens.

Ultimately, we implemented a much faster zone-skipping model leveraging our existing two-distribution-center network. Jon also introduced us to a diversified final-mile carrier strategy that expanded our capacity well beyond the limits of our incumbent provider. As a result, we gained the flexibility to manage service levels and costs by region while avoiding the burden of long-term carrier commitments and seasonal capacity limitations.

What we initially believed we knew about our network was only part of the story. Jon helped us uncover opportunities we hadn’t considered and provided a scalable, data-driven path forward.
