A huge benefit for us is the flexibility PreBilt offers of being able to use both voice and scanning simultaneously for the same picking process.
EP Group can trust their SAP data, now they've got PreBilt and voice tech on the warehouse floor. Teams are working faster, making better decisions and keeping up with demand without delays and paperwork holding them back.
When you're managing 65,000 pallet locations, missing stock and delayed updates aren't just frustrating. They slow everything down.
EP Group were stuck using paper pick lists and manually typing updates into SAP. Teams recorded their daily tasks by hand. Stock information was often out of date. New starters could take days, sometimes weeks, to understand the system. Critical time was wasted fixing mistakes and chasing lost sheets, not moving goods.
PreBilt changed that.
With it, EP Group replaced paper processes with a faster, simpler way of working. Intuitive screens, easy scanning processes and voice picking have replaced confusion with confidence. New starters can be trained and working productively in hours. Every transaction updates SAP automatically and instantly, giving backroom teams the live information they need to stay in control.
“We can clearly see the average pick times, and knowing how many orders we need to get out each day, we can ensure we allocate the right resource in advance to hit the volume needed.”
“The benefits of voice have been huge for us...it's about using the right mode for the right process to gain maximum efficiencies.” Les Tyrell, SAP Business Analyst, EP Group.
