Visdeal’s packing machine packs parcels to size

We visited our customer Visdeal, who recently started using a packing machine. This allows them to pack orders more quickly and significantly reduce space during the shipping process.

Jefta sat down with Willem, owner of Visdeal. They are the market leader in the Netherlands and Belgium for fishing gear and serve 9 countries, shipping between 1,000 and 1,500 orders per day.

What does the packing machine do?

With the packing machine, they’ve taken their first step toward warehouse process optimization through mechanization. The packing machine automatically packs small orders. About 65% of all orders are now packed automatically and labeled for shipping.

The packing process consists of three steps:

  1. A machine automatically opens boxes. Each box is assigned a unique barcode.
  2. The picker assigns an order to a box using the unique barcode in Picqer. The picked products are placed inside the box.
  3. In Picqer, the shipment is created. The packing machine folds the box as tightly as possible and applies the correct shipping label. The order is now ready for dispatch.

What are the benefits?

The machine automates many tasks that were previously done manually. And because the parcels are more compact, shipping costs are reduced.

They now hire fewer new staff while still continuing to grow. The packing machine can process up to 800 packages per hour. With future growth plans in mind, this has been a smart investment for Visdeal.
