Before the installation of PAS PowerStore, Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV) faced significant challenges in their warehouse operations. The 54,000 square feet warehouse stored pallets on the floor, up to four high, which led to inefficiencies and operational issues. One of the major problems was the occurrence of pallet tumbles, which not only damaged products but also created sticky spillage, complicating the warehouse environment. Additionally, the manual tracking of pallet locations often resulted in the inability to find specific pallets, leading to product wastage when items were stored past their due date. This manual system also meant that storage space was not utilized efficiently, further exacerbating the operational challenges. The need for a more efficient system was evident as PBV sought to increase storage capacity and better manage their inventory without expanding the physical footprint of their warehouse.
