Full-pallet volumes
Large pallet throughput strains forklift fleets and aisles.
Wholesale Efficiency
Wholesale & B2B Automation
Heavy case-picking, full-pallet handling and cross-docking automation.
Overview
Automation for Wholesale B2B
Metallum’s wholesale automation solutions optimize heavy case-picking, full-pallet handling, and cross-docking operations for commercial distribution networks. By deploying heavy-duty 4-way pallet shuttles, high-capacity vertical lifts, and smart dispatch software, our integrated material handling platforms reduce dock congestion, accelerate order turnaround, and lower operating costs across multi-tier supplier hubs.
Challenges
Common Challenges
Dock congestion
Inbound and outbound loads compete for limited dock space.
Heavy case picking
Repetitive heavy lifting slows picking and increases injury risk.
Multi-tier supplier hubs
Cross-docking across suppliers demands precise sequencing.
