ARC smart locker tech boosts ShipBob productivity 40%, cuts device shrink by 63%

ARC, a division of ChargeItSpot, is deploying its smart locker technology across all ShipBob fulfilment centres following a pilot programme that delivered a 40% increase in associate productivity. The pilot at ShipBob's North Aurora, Illinois facility reduced device shrinkage by 63%, cut device pick-up and return times by 84%, and decreased manager time spent tracking devices by 97%. ShipBob, a global supply chain and fulfilment platform, deployed ARC's system to manage thousands of handheld devices used by warehouse associates. The smart locker solution combines charging lockers with proprietary device management software to ensure devices remain charged, secure and accessible. The technology addresses operational challenges including missing devices, battery depletion and manual oversight requirements that previously resulted in lost time and reduced output across fulfilment operations.
