In the world of distribution, small mistakes don’t stay small for long. 

A mislabeled item, a delayed shipment, or a wrong pick can ripple across your entire operation damaging customer trust, draining margins, and slowing growth.

For modern distributors, achieving perfect order performance isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s mission-critical. Luckily,  it’s also more attainable than ever before.

At Sequoia Group, we’ve spent over 30 years helping distributors reduce error rates, improve accuracy, and unlock scalable solutions that deliver real value across the supply chain. In partnership with leading technology platforms like Infor, Tecsys, and Locus Robotics, we help build tailored warehouse solutions that drive efficiency, reduce friction, and deliver results.

The True Cost of a Mistake

An error in the warehouse doesn’t just mean a delayed order. It often sets off a costly domino effect: expedited shipping, customer service hours, return handling, and worst of all, lost customer confidence.

Research shows the cost of a single shipping error can easily exceed $100 after labor, transportation, and lost time are factored in. Multiply that across hundreds (or thousands) of daily orders, and the operational toll becomes impossible to ignore.

That’s why more companies are turning to Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and automation tools that align with real business goals. Not just for tracking inventory, but for achieving repeatable, consistent accuracy.

Pathways to Perfect Order Practices

  1. Better Visibility Through WMS
    With Infor WMS, your team can move beyond spreadsheets and manual audits. Real-time inventory data, system-directed tasks, and optimized workflows reduce decision fatigue and help eliminate human error before it happens. Learn more about how Sequoia supports Infor implementations here.
  2. Smarter Fulfillment with Robotics
    Locus Robotics provides warehouse automation without the capital expense of traditional systems. Their collaborative robots help workers pick faster and more accurately, improving performance without replacing your workforce. See how Sequoia supports Locus Robotics here.
  3. Supply Chain Control with Tecsys
    Tecsys offers flexible, scalable software designed for high-demand industries. From warehouse execution to order management, Tecsys solutions offer transparency and control—especially for distributors managing complex operations. Learn more.
  4. Expert Guidance That Understands Your Business
    What sets Sequoia Group apart isn’t just the technology, it’s also our team. We don’t “sell software.” We partner with you to understand your operational goals and build solutions that are tailored, scalable, and driven by real results. See how we approach distribution differently here.

It’s Not Just About Efficiency—It’s About Trust

Perfect order performance isn’t just a KPI—it’s a reflection of your brand promise. Customers don’t see the warehouse floor. They only see the result: on time, complete, and error-free delivery.

And when it works, they keep coming back.

If you’re ready to reduce mistakes, improve customer satisfaction, and gain a competitive edge, Sequoia Group can help.
