Let's talk.
An adequate material handling solution helps right-size your workforce. A better one scales with your DC. Siggins does both.

Distribution centers often come to us hoping to improve throughput by 10-15%. We routinely deliver 30-40% improvement while reducing labor requirements by 50% and adding 30% more inventory space.
You can meet new demand within months while accommodating three to five years of future growth. It’s tough to believe. But look at our process and you’ll understand how.
“It’s very, very comforting to know you have a whole organization working for you, not just one guy on the other end of the phone.”
—James Ranalli III, Owner and President, United Auto Supply
—Dave Loucks, Director of Logistics, Shop LC
“Siggins was competing against themselves trying to find a design we could settle on, and they did.”
“We had to make some tweaks and design changes, and they had it done within days.”
—Jeremy Brick, Fulfillment Center President, U-Haul
The quickest, easiest way to upgrade your warehouse and right-size labor. Find out how Siggins completes installations ahead of schedule.
The newest, shiniest goods-to-person solution isn't always the best for your DC. It all depends on your goals.
Do you need to integrate a more sophisticated software into your picking operations? Choose the right partner.
The best goods-to-person solution for your warehouse is backed by data and smart engineering.
Should you implement OPEX, AutoStore or some other system Discover how your rate, budget and floor plan impact the decision.
When you do systems integration with Siggins, you avoid internal team handoffs and operational slowdowns.
Engineered goods-to-person automation to address labor challenges
Systems integration that’s committed to DCs — not equipment brands
“Siggins’ methodology is probably similar to most: Collect a bunch of data, go through the data, and try to understand the basic building blocks that the organization has worked with. But then they go further and try to understand who we are as a company, and that lets them dig a little bit deeper and propose not only creative solutions, but solutions tailored to the ROI targets that we have for ourselves.”
—William Burke, Global Director of Engineering, Columbia Sportswear Company
Scale your DC and smash bottlenecks
Goods-to-person technology can be a great fit for DCs that don’t have enough people to pick or too many. Siggins helps you create the right balance.
If there aren’t enough people to perform the work, G2P efficiencies can dramatically increase the output of your current workforce.
The other scenario? You have too many employees on the floor. But goods-to-person tech can solve that problem too by reducing labor costs and increasing throughput.
More product lines, more options
What works for one warehouse may not work for another. So we maintain relationships with multiple brands, while remaining financially independent. That makes us fluent in the advantages and disadvantages of each goods-to-person solution:
Shuttle-based systems — Fastest pick rates and excellent storage density with high ceilings, but with less flexibility for picking multi-item orders.
Grid-based systems — Greater space efficiency with lower ceilings, but with throughput limitations from a stacked tote design.
Automated mobile robots — The most flexibility at a slower pick rate and lower space efficiency.
Vertical lift modules — Save floorspace with a compact design that’s perfect for products that don’t fit well in a tote and have slower pick rates.
Rely on our expertise to design the right solution.
Need a custom material handling solution?
Siggins is solutions-agnostic. We will never force a bad-fit solution on your facility. Especially not with a whole suite of alternatives at our disposal.
For slow-moving products that won’t achieve a higher rate with automation, VNA racking and pick-to-cart solutions offer valuable efficiencies. And for fast-moving products flow racks and pallet picking provide continuous movement for quicker fulfillment.
