From Manual to Fully Automated: A Real 3PL Success Story

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, one California-based 3PL warehouse faced a growing challenge: how to meet rising order volumes without constantly hiring and training new staff. Their manual packing process—reliant on label printing, bagging, and sealing done by hand—capped their output at around 400 orders per hour during peak times.

After deploying METIWRAP 3.0, the transformation was immediate and measurable. The automated flow integrated barcode scanning, real-time WMS sync, label printing, bag dispensing, and sealing—all in one streamlined cycle. With only a single operator, the facility began processing over 1200 orders per hour—a 3X+ productivity boost.

Not only did the system cut labor costs, it virtually eliminated shipping errors thanks to automatic label matching and sealing consistency. The local METIS service team handled installation, training, and live troubleshooting, allowing the client to focus entirely on business growth.

This isn’t just automation—it’s a scalable, reliable way to meet fulfillment SLAs and stay ahead of demand spikes.
