VARGO® Improves National Tire Retailer Fulfillment Capability

HILLIARD, Ohio (June 8, 2022) — VARGO®, a leading provider of material-handling systems integration, warehouse execution software and equipment solutions for major fulfillment and distribution centers, recently went live with a new fulfillment center for a well-known, multi-store tire retailer.
VARGO® implemented a custom-designed solution for this national tire retailer. The new solution can handle everything from rims to small trailer tires to huge off-road tires weighing 100 pounds. VARGO®’s system allows for crossdocking of 4,500 tires per hour to 100 tire stores.

“The new facility offered Vargo the opportunity to improve the existing design and reduce touches in a very labor-intensive operation.” said Jeff Lammert, client executive, systems sales at VARGO®. “The new facility reduces operating costs by getting closer to demand and reducing labor. The system design includes the possibility of a future expansion to add 25% more capacity.”

VARGO® creates industry-leading solutions to increase fulfillment capabilities and decrease order cycle times. VARGO®’s solution for the national tire retailer significantly improved distribution processes and helped the client serve its customers quicker and easier.
