Case Study: eBay Enterprise - 1

HITTING THE DOCKS RUNNiNG EBAY ENTERPRISE Anyone who has bought products through eBay knows how important timeliness and accuracy are to those transactions. The company built its reputation on quality customer service. The same holds true with eBay Enterprise, an eBay Inc. company and a provider of omni-channel solutions. These include commerce technologies, order management, retail operations, and marketing services. eBay Enterprise acts as a third-party provider of fulfillment and distribution services for clients that include The Company Store, SteinMart, New York & Company, GODIVA, and VF Corporation. eBay Enterprise has a number of distribution centers in Martinsville, Va., and two of them have just added new BEUMER tilt-tray shipping sorters to speed products to consumers. “We ship everything from a pair of earrings to lawn furniture,” explains Kim Smith-Glis-son, director of operations. “The customer experience is our number one goal, so we needed the ability to move products through our outbound sortation systems much faster. We have a wide variety of packaging for outbound shipments, everything from envelopes to polybags to large cartons; so we needed something that could handle that wide variety.” Obviously, the lawn furniture doesn't fit on the new sorters, but almost everything else does. In the older facility, known as Martinsville-I, the new sorter replaced a 30-year-old pop-up unit that wasn't able to sort all of the various packaging. “The old sorter didn't have the capabilities, speed, or accuracy that the new one does, which meant more manual labor in handling bagged products and ensuring accurate sortation,” says Bradley Feury, senior manager, process improvement.
