Ingram Micro Australia Improves Warehouse Operational Efficiency with Zebra Technologies
Ingram Micro Australia is improving its operational efficiency using Zebra Technologies’ solutions at its 42,000-square-metre warehouse at Eastern Creek, NSW. Ingram Micro is Australia’s largest technology and supply chain services distributor that represents more than 250 vendors to a network of 11,000 Australian resellers.
The solution implemented by Ingram Micro is Zebra’s intelligent cabinet which offers adaptable device storage, software automation, and security applications as well as ongoing support. Prior to deploying the intelligent cabinet solution, Ingram Micro’s front-line staff wasted valuable time every day searching for their mobile computers before they could begin their work in the warehouse. They have since eliminated this delay while enjoying real-time visibility and better tracking of devices returned to the intelligent cabinets at the end of each workday.
“The introduction of Zebra’s intelligent cabinet has significantly reduced the combined time spent by our front-line staff in searching for the tools they need to perform their daily tasks,” said Aaron Kumar, Director of Operations, Australia and New Zealand, Ingram Micro. “Zebra enables us to empower our front-line staff with greater efficiency and the ability to deliver better results through digitalisation.”
With Australia’s logistics and warehousing industry forecast to grow from a 4.7% economic contribution in 2023 to around 6% by 2026, “it is important that warehouse operators equip themselves with the right technology to increase collaboration between workers as well as boost productivity and effectiveness,” said Peter Pollari, Regional Distribution Manager ANZ, Zebra Technologies.
