Industry Challenges

Multi-Client Management: Operating shared facilities for multiple clients with different requirements, SKU profiles, and service level agreements demands flexible systems that can segregate and manage diverse operations simultaneously.
Scalability Demands: Handling fluctuating volumes, seasonal peaks, and rapid client onboarding requires automation systems that can scale efficiently without compromising service quality or accuracy.
Labour Optimization: Managing workforce costs whilst maintaining high productivity levels across variable demand patterns and multiple client specifications requires intelligent automation solutions.
Billing Complexity: Accurately tracking and billing diverse activities for multiple clients with different service agreements demands precise monitoring and automated reporting capabilities.
Integration Requirements: Seamlessly connecting with various client systems, e-commerce platforms, and carriers requires robust integration capabilities and flexible system architecture.

We have a great working relationship with Axiom, they are both fair and transparent in the way they do business and that makes for a very trustworthy partnership.

The new Axiom system has really lived up to our expectations; its simple construction and uncomplicated technology make it an extremely reliable machine.

From day one, Axiom impressed us with their attention to detail and willingness to learn all about our single item order process before they started work on a solution. We awarded them the business based on the overall strength of their solution, their ability to listen to our needs and the competitive price for the project.
