Gousto boosts warehouse operations with JDA Software tech

London-based meal kit provider Gousto has rolled out JDA Dispatcher WMS from the JDA Software Warehouse Management portfolio.

“With 40 different recipes each week, 60 ingredients per box and thousands of individual customer orders, we estimate that our JDA software is handling 20 million lines of data per week,” says Robert Hellen, Operations Service Manager, Gousto.

“Its capabilities are tremendous. We now have an end-to-end solution with accountability for all stock within the Gousto business. That’s a huge advantage.”

He adds: “With expert guidance from implementation partner Socius24, we’ve been able to leverage the traceability, visibility and flexibility of the solution to work smarter and faster. We’ve been able to consistently increase capacity and throughout, accelerate picking speed and automate many decisions. We can schedule jobs with a high degree of speed and accuracy, and we anticipate substantially growing our weekly orders this year.”

Since implementing the tech, Gousto says that its order volume has increased substantially. And it has been able to accommodate a 10x increase in activity without adding any physical labour or warehouse space. Socius24 is currently partnering with the company to add a second automated picking line supported by JDA.
