Fulfillment at its Best Product is moved with amazing efficiency in the new ABC distribution center. By the numbers: 3.79: miles of conveyer belt 135: cases processed per minute 60,000: cases processed per 8-hour shift home shipping is tentatively scheduled for implementation in the spring or summer of 2022. " The DC is also moving to floor loading trailers versus palletizing, " says Dunham. " Floor loading will reduce damages as well as streamline the offloading of product into our Virginia ABC retail locations. Stores will have more time to restock shelves and to take care of customers versus processing shipping exceptions. " This shift to floor loading removes approximately 98%- $130,000-in shrink wrap that was previously used to enclose pallets. ABC also plans to use cardboard boxes converted into packaging material rather than plastic bubble wrap for both ship-to-store and home shipping. Consumers who enjoy creambased liquors will appreciate the new distribution center's cold-room storage for cream-based products. The automated system directs these products to the proper temporary cold waiting room. The growth of the craft distilling industry and the increasing popularity of craft cocktails have added to consumer appreciation for alcohol products and continued the need for programs in alcohol awareness, safety and oversight.
