1.Automated storage and retrieval system : Complete overhaul of existing picking system and its interaction with inventory management system.The task of manual retrieval and picking was delegated to Quadrons(robots) .This helped in quick ramping up of the new facility and supporting 50% load of the existing lenskart order volume.The intgration was developed keeping in mind the requirement to serve 5x of the current order volume in new facility.

2.Store/DC sorting :This was another integration meant for mechanical sortation of shipment based on shipping address of store post packing. This was earlier managed manually by warehouse team by scanning each and every shipment and manually consolidating them.
