After experiencing exponential growth, Tin Shack and Australian Boot Company, a leading Canadian distributor of footwear brands such as Blundstone and Glerups, recognized the necessity to upgrade their legacy systems. Tin Shack is the exclusive distributor of Blundstone boots for Canada, often shipping thousands of pairs a day. They sought a modern ERP solution to enhance flexibility and scalability. The company implemented SAP Business One with the assistance of implementation firm aclaros, aiming for greater operational visibility.

However, despite the successful implementation of SAP Business One, Tin Shack faced inefficiencies in warehouse operations. With a high volume of orders, their existing warehouse picking solution lacked speed and flexibility. They sought a new warehouse solution that would fully integrate with their new SAP Business One ERP, was capable of reducing worker downtime and increasing the speed of warehouse operations.
