Warehouse automation for B2B distributors and wholesalers

Pio helps distributors and wholesalers store more SKUs and pick multi-line orders faster. Robots in a compact cube storage grid bring inventory directly to your team, and stock levels update in real time.

Common B2B distribution and fulfillment challenges:

  • Warehouse space runs out fast
  • Multi-line orders mean more walking
  • SKU growth means hiring more pickers
  • Picking errors rise with order complexity

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of warehouse automation works for B2B distributors and wholesalers?
Goods-to-person automation works well for distributors and wholesalers managing many SKUs and complex, multi-line orders. Pio stores inventory in a compact cube grid and uses robots to bring the right bins to a workstation, instead of staff walking the warehouse to find them.
How can a distributor add storage and picking capacity in a full warehouse without moving?
Cube storage uses vertical space and eliminates storage aisles, so a distributor can store up to 10x more inventory in the same footprint. Picking capacity scales by adding robots to the existing grid, whether permanently as order volume grows or temporarily for peak season, without leasing a bigger building.
How can a distributor speed up multi-line order picking?
Robots bring the bins needed for each order directly to the workstation, so your team spends less time walking and searching for SKUs. With Pio, you can pick and pack up to 170 order lines per hour.
How much does warehouse automation for a B2B distributor cost?
Pio systems start from $146,700 for a P100, plus a monthly fee from $4,996. You buy the grid and bins, while the monthly fee covers robots and the Pio software. Larger Pio systems are available as your storage and fulfillment needs grow. More on Pio pricing.
