Case Study: Acumen Brands Uses Robots to 
Cut Warehouse Costs

That scalability was vital to Acumen Brands’ future. With plans to grow to 20-plus e-commerce sites by 2012, the retailer needed an order fulfillment solution that could grow with it. Generating nearly $10 million in revenue now, Acumen Brands has plans to ramp that up quickly — and without having to move from its 60,000 square-foot warehouse. Acumen Brands will max out that space with shelves, pick stations, and Kiva’s system and robots. As the company grows the goal will be to turn inventory faster vs. taking on more inventory, says James.
