Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, one of the world’s largest alcohol distributors, operates one of the most complex, highly regulated distribution networks in North America—managing thousands of SKUs, strict state-by-state requirements, and route-based delivery models.
That complexity, combined with rising demand, productivity pressures, and space constraints across two legacy facilities, led Southern Glazer’s to partner with Dematic to consolidate operations into a single high-performance automated distribution center.
Dematic implemented high-density picking modules with multi-level fulfillment zones for fast, accurate case picking, integrated with conveyor and sortation systems for seamless flow from picking to shipping—all powered by Dematic Software for real-time visibility and continuous optimization.
The impact is clear:
- Throughput doubled
- Picking volume up 25%
- 90%+ of case picking automated during peak shifts
See how Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits is building for the future.
