Leading Beverage Distributor Doubles Throughput and Scales for the Future

*This content is sponsored by Dematic*

Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, one of the world’s largest alcohol distributors, operates one of the most complex, highly regulated distribution networks in North America—managing thousands of SKUs, strict state-by-state requirements, and route-based delivery models.

That complexity, combined with rising demand, productivity pressures, and space constraints across two legacy facilities, led Southern Glazer’s to partner with Dematic to consolidate operations into a single high-performance automated distribution center.

Dematic implemented high-density picking modules with multi-level fulfillment zones for fast, accurate case picking, integrated with conveyor and sortation systems for seamless flow from picking to shipping—all powered by Dematic Software for real-time visibility and continuous optimization.

The impact is clear:

• Throughput doubled
• Picking volume up 25%
• 90%+ of case picking automated during peak shifts
