Jel Sert

Founded in 1926, Jel Sert offers popular regional and national consumer food product brands, including: Pop-Ice, Otter Pops®, and Fla-Vor-Ice freeze pops; Mondo Fruit Squeezers; the Royal brand of puddings, gelatins, flans, and no-bake cheesecakes; and the My*T*Fine premium cook-and-serve pudding brand.

Challenge

As the Jel Sert Company was expanding its business to support new brands and new channels, it was clear its current physical and IT infrastructure could not support the company's increasingly complex business demands.

Solution

Jel Sert chose WISE, a warehouse management solution from Progress partner Royal 4, that could integrate with its current IT infrastructure, automate critical warehouse and distribution processes, and scale with the increasingly complex needs of the company.

Results

• Increased productivity: Distribution center employee productivity has increased over 30%, and despite growth in orders, inventories, and SKUs since implementing WISE, Jel Sert has improved labor productivity.
• Increased accuracy: In less than a year, Jel Sert has increased full pallet accuracy from about 80% to 99.93% and partial case accuracy from about 60% to 99.94%.
