A Tour of the ScanSource Distribution Center
October 7, 2011
This week I was fortunate to be invited to speak at the ScanSource Communications Partner Conference, held in Memphis, TN. The event brings together the strategic reseller and vendor partners that work with ScanSource Communications to create leading communications solutions.
Since the event was hosted in Memphis, the attendees had the unique opportunity to visit the ScanSource Distribution Center, located just outside the city limits. Being a big fan of "How It's Made" programming on TV, I was sure to attend and soak up the noise and mass movement in the 600,000 square feet facility.
Housing close to $30M in inventory with an order fulfillment accuracy rate of 99.9% is no small task.
While at the facility, we were lucky to see a truck-load of AudioCodes media gateways in the receiving area.
The facility features a technologically advanced “picking, packing and shipping” conveyor system with 40 lanes.
