How CDW Delivers on the Back End

Automation in the Warehouse
CDW has gone to a paperless system to fulfill orders in its two warehouses. The fulfillment process is barcode-driven, Eckrote said. The automated system predetermines the shipping box size needed, serial numbers are captured from the order history and the product is speed-picked. The boxes are then sent to the print and apply scan tunnel, where the barcode is read and assigned the order and applied the shipping label.
