Book Retailer Revamps Distribution


Fast Growth Strains Fulfillment Operations

Half Price Books, the largest family-owned bookstore chain, looked to add the e-commerce channel. The distribution center was already crowded, and their processes lacked performance visibility.  

Blue Horseshoe was selected to maximize their warehouse footprint and create a blueprint to map the new processes to their existing WMS. The project needed to be completed before the holiday peak and not interfere with business-as-usual. 

Learn how Half Price Books gained actionable insights into their pick process, increased warehouse capacity, and improved fulfillment. 

“Nothing is out of the box in retail, and Microsoft has been very willing to listen to us and help us find what works for our business, whether that’s implementing our customer loyalty program or finding the right setup for our SKU count.”
