Case Study : A rapidly growing online grocery delivery company and their consultant were working to open new fulfillment centers designed and optimized to fulfill orders quickly and efficiently . The Company is committed to delivering fresh , locally-sourced products to customers at reasonable prices and therefore need to ensure orders are accurately and rapidly processed to keep operating costs low .
Included in every order is a thank you card , a referral card ( with a personalized promo code ), and a flyer advertising promotions or new products . These inserts vary in size from 6.5 ” x7.5 ” to 8.5 ” x14 ”. For new customers , a welcome brochure was also included with their first order .
At existing facilities , document printing and insertion is completed by a team of 10 operators at individual packing tables where they manually pick preprinted materials , print the promo code on the referral card , and insert the right documents and marketing material into orders .

wrong advertisement is inserted . Finally , since the amount of material required varied , there was often too much or not enough material available .
Working with PSI , the Customer and Consultant decided that the packing tables were to be converted to a single pack line with a straight run conveyor and three in-line PSI Print Feeders ( one document type per machine ). As the carton containing the order moves along the conveyor , the barcode is scanned prompting the Print Feeder to print the appropriate promotional flyer , referral
card with personalized promo code , and personalized thank you card and inserts it into the order . One PSI LC In-Feeder was installed downstream of the Print Feeders to include a welcome brochure if the order was for a new customer .
Introducing this automated pack line eliminated document insertion errors which got the orders out the door twice as fast . The Company now saves $ 500,000 annually on labour costs by reducing the staff required to complete this transaction .
