Flexible Proprietary
Technology Stack
Unlike old shuttle-based, conveyor-based legacy technology, our platform is the most flexible, robust, and reliable micro-fulfillment platform on the market
Our solution at a glance
-
Proprietary end-to-end technology stack
From our robotics to our AI, all of our technology was built from scratch in-house especially to enable high throughput from small spaces
-
On-demand fulfillment
Our sites are located in close proximity to your customers or stores, enabling profitable one-hour or same-day fulfillment
-
Optimized for space efficiency
Our sites are optimized for storage density with a special emphasis on utilizing height, allowing us to maximize storage in the smallest spaces
-
Operational efficiency
Our goods-to-person system increases labor efficiency by 10x and ensures more accuracy during the picking process and more efficient stock management
-
High throughput
The unique topology of our system, such as direct access to all totes and robots that travel anywhere under the lifted shelving units, prevents bottlenecks and enables high throughput
-
Total flexibility in assortment
Our platform supports anywhere from 200 to 60,000 SKUs, from one to three temperature zones
-
Flexible to your operational reality
Our working stations are multi-purpose, which means the site can adapt to your daily and weekly operational fluctuations, allowing you to direct all resources to the most critical tasks at hand
-
No single point of failure
Instead of using conveyor belts or shuttles which can shut down operations if they fail, we use distributed agent-based technology with built-in redundancy
-
Fast deployment
Our solution has been designed in a way that makes them fast to build and deploy, so you can get up and running in as little as 100 days with our Quick Start Program
Our solution design principles
Optimized for throughput per footprint
There are some solutions that optimize for space efficiency, and there are others that optimize for throughput, but ours has optimized for both: it generates high throughput from small spaces, close to where consumers live.
Simple, reliable robots, smart software
We keep our robots as simple and as reliable as possible and put all the complexity in the software. This enables us to iterate and improve on our platform quickly while keeping it cost-effective for our retail partners.
Multi-purpose stations
Most fulfillment platforms have components devoted to one single purpose (decant, picking, or dispatching) that sit vacant much of the time. To improve efficiency, save space, save money, and increase throughput, our touchpoints and terminals are all multi-purpose.
Cube utilization
To optimize for throughput in small spaces, our platform utilizes the entire 3D cube of the site, including height. This allows us to fit more goods into smaller spaces and store them based on the volume and velocity of different items.
Scalability
Our simple site design, without the complicated mapping of conveyor belts, enables us to build new sites rapidly. In addition, each site can easily expand in storage and capacity while operational; no need to plan full capacity in advance.
Robustness and reliability
Unlike platforms that rely on shuttles or conveyors, our distributed agent-based technology enables “graceful degradation” — it has built-in redundancy so if a component malfunctions, the site continues operating.
