TLC, long known as an upstream expert in food and CPG distribution is also a provider of specialized retail distribution solutions.

One example of that retail capability is our store-ready tote program. This national network, consisting of two dedicated DCs, distributes store-ready totes to over 2,500 US locations.

Based upon customer-specified levels of automation, these centers deliver most of the CPG hardgoods on this retailer's shelves.

With 'each' picks accounting for over 80% of the orders, these centers required a flexible automation plan that could adjust to the volume and mix of an evolving marketplace.

The footprints for these facilities consist of multiple pick tunnels deploying pick-to-light and voice driven solutions. Custom-packed pallets are then shuttled to staging areas where store-ready pallets are created preped for shipment.

By providing this retailer with a turnkey distribution solution, the customer is able to focus on their brand development and areas of key differentiation. When retailers need mission critical solutions in store-ready distribution, TLC is Supply Chain One.
