Customer Challenge
Crown Automotive needed to eliminate the hand packaging and labeling of every order. Their issues:
- Intense labor required to not only package every item by hand, but to hand-label it as well
- Inconsistency due to the hand packaging and labeling led to each package arriving differently and outside of their established brand standards
