Material Bank, the world’s largest material resource library for architects and designers, specializes in distributing materials and samples from various manufacturers to clients worldwide. Operating out of a 370,000 sq. ft. warehouse with 300,000 SKUs (totaling 10 million inventory units) and 250,000 pick locations, the company needed a scalable warehouse solution that could keep pace with its rapid growth.
As a leader in the fast-moving logistics and 3PL sector, Material Bank is committed to shipping all sample orders placed by midnight for next-day delivery. However, maintaining this high-speed fulfillment model while expanding proved increasingly difficult due to:
Inventory Management Challenges – Handling high SKU counts with precision and efficiency Complex, Custom Workflows – Supporting a unique business model with specialized order processing Operational Scalability – Keeping up with growing order volumes without compromising speed
To continue delivering unmatched service, Material Bank needed a warehouse management system (WMS) that could integrate seamlessly with automation, optimize workflows, and support future growth.
To address these challenges, Material Bank implemented Made4net’s WarehouseExpert WMS, selecting it for its flexibility, scalability, and seamless integration with existing automation technologies.
