Orchestrating fulfillment with COFE® and intelligent automation
Orchestrating the Future of Fulfillment with Intelligent Automation
In today’s rapidly evolving retail landscape, fulfillment is about moving smarter, faster and more in sync to meet consumer demand. At VARGO®,. we believe fulfillment should operate like a perfectly choreographed symphony, with every process, from receiving to shipping, working together seamlessly in real time. That’s why we’ve pioneered an approach that blends intelligent automation with real-time execution systems and allows customers to receive their orders quicker, and every dollar of capital investment into operations go much further.
COFE® is the Conductor When Automation Alone Isn’t Enough
Retailers turn to automation to accelerate shipping, reduce labor costs and increase throughput. However, traditional fulfillment operations often operate in waves — batching orders, pausing, and restarting — leading to bottlenecks, inefficiencies and delays. COFE®, our proven warehouse execution system (WES), selects the most optimal work to be performed and synchronizes all the work in process, to maintain a seamless and continuous flow throughout a fulfillment operation. The result? Faster order cycle times, more building throughput, lower processing costs and less CapEx equipment required.
We Empower Intelligent Automation and Technology to Work in Perfect Harmony
We believe that fulfillment isn’t just powered by automation — it’s orchestrated by intelligence. Many companies implement automation in isolated silos not realizing that without a unifying layer of intelligence, these systems often fall out of sync which leads to delays, inefficiencies and unsatisfied customers. At VARGO®, we start with the end in mind, strategizing how people, automation and technology will work together to achieve the highest levels of efficiency. We help our clients evaluate the benefits and ROI of deploying automation technologies such as AMRs, conveyance, automated sorting systems, AS/RS and more. We help determine the appropriate level and selection of automation based on the desired operation so that perfect fulfillment center harmony can be achieved.
