Lipstick powder and pick

Mary Kay is one of the leading companies for direct sales of makeup and skin care and Lesley Cosmetics is the authorised and exclusive distributor for Mary Kay  in Finland, Norway and Sweden. The head office and distribution centre in Sweden has over 600 articles on stock in the warehouse.

Incoming orders usually consist of an average of 17 lines and are placed by Independent Beauty Consultants in order to fill up their stock. The company wanted an efficient solution that reduced delivery time and increased picking speed and accuracy. They were also looking to create a better flow in the warehouse, with a more ergonomic workspace and rotation in staff work tasks.

Kardex Remstar recommended a Megamat RS 350 combined with the warehouse management software Power Pick Global, to offer a fast storage and retrieval solution. Using the paternoster principle, the articles, which are stored on carriers, automatically take the shortest path to the access opening at all times. The LED rail position indicator increases the picking speed and reduces picking errors while it is possible to simultaneously pick and replenish stock. Thanks to the automated solution, 3,000 order lines can now easily be picked in a one day shift. In addition, the Megamat has been delivered in the colour pink.
