Benefits

Room to grow, right where you are.

Pio's compact cube storage system gives growing businesses more storage in the same footprint, faster picking, fewer errors, and less manual work. Pio grows with you, from P100 all the way to P600.

Up to 10x more inventory, same space.

Inside Pio's grid, bins stack directly on top of each other, with no aisles in between. Pio fits up to 10x more inventory in the same footprint, so you can maximize warehouse space without moving to a bigger warehouse.

Pick up to 5x faster.

Pio's robots bring the bins to your team, so nobody has to walk the aisles. Goods-to-person picking with Pio is up to 5x faster than manual shelving. More orders go out the door, with a lot less running around.

Before Pio, it could take us four or five days to ship out during big sales campaigns. Now, everything goes out the next day and we're doing it with just 1/3 of the people. That's a winner.

Before Pio, we would've had two people picking all day. Now there's just one person doing it, and they're usually done by lunch.
