A leading off-price retailer asked Newcastle Systems to help streamline processes within their receiving department.  Specifically, they wanted to optimize cross-docking and labeling of product prior to put-away. 

The company had conducted a time study and determined that receiving associates were wasting 12.9 minutes per hour walking back and forth to stationary label printers. 

The solution recommended by Newcastle Systems is the NB Series Power Swap (which enables 24-hour mobile power for printers, laptops, scanners, and more).

Once the NB Series Power Swap Nucleus was deployed, a further time study was conducted and revealed the following results:

Increased productivity with cart deployment:
Cases received per hour without cart	16.6
Cases received per hour with Newcastle cart	27.1
Increase in receiving volume	63%
Reduction in overtime due to increase in productivity:	75%
Dollars saved with cart deployment:
Per day (2 shifts @ $11.50/hr, 270 days/yr)	$37.09
Per year (2 shifts @ $11.50/hr, 270 days/yr)	$10,013.63
Time saved with cart deployment per year (hours):	870.75
Payback period:
Cost of NB Series Power Swap System	$4,549
