See how leading manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have transformed their warehouse operations with E2 Solutions.
An employee-owned woodworking tool manufacturer was drowning in peak-season fulfillment backlogs. E2 redesigned their Infios WMS workflows — no rip-and-replace required.
A major airline's MRO parts distribution was plagued by manual tracking and delayed locates. E2 brought Infios WMS discipline to their supply chain — and the tarmac stopped waiting.
A regional grocery cooperative faced mounting pressure to serve more member stores without adding warehouse staff. This story is coming soon.
How Kreg Tool transformed their peak-season warehouse operations with targeted Infios WMS optimization — no system replacement required.
Before your changes, at peak, it would take us a week to get all the orders packed and shipped. After your changes, we were done by 1pm the following day. — Operations Manager, Kreg Tool

16 × 9 · Feature LengthKreg Tool — the company behind the iconic pocket hole jig that revolutionized woodworking — had a problem that no innovative product could fix from the inside. As the company scaled its operations and moved into a new facility in Ankeny, Iowa, the complexity of their distribution grew faster than their processes could keep up.
Their existing WMS was live. The system worked. But working and winning are two different things.
At peak season — Cyber Monday, Thanksgiving, the holiday rush — the packing and picking floor became a bottleneck. Orders piled up. Teams scrambled. The numbers told the story plainly: at peak volume, it took an entire week to pack and ship all orders.
For a company built on connecting head, heart, and hands — and making woodworking more accessible — having customers wait a week for tools they were excited to use wasn't acceptable.
Donovan Fuhs, VP of IT, knew the WMS wasn't the problem. The processes running on top of it were. What they needed wasn't a rip-and-replace — they needed a partner who already understood their system and could get inside the operation to find where the friction lived.
That's where E2 Solutions came in. E2's familiarity with the Infios WMS meant no lengthy onboarding, no learning curve. They showed up already knowing the system and went straight to work understanding Kreg's specific operation.
Previously, each order was distributed across multiple totes — a logical approach that created invisible waste at scale. By shifting to a model where multiple orders were consolidated into a single tote, Kreg's team could fulfill 10–15 orders in one pass instead of constantly context-switching between individual containers.
Operators were required to scan every item individually into a box before a label could be generated — a multi-step workflow that multiplied under high volume. E2 redesigned the logic: pack items into the container first, assign the label at the end. Fewer scans. Faster throughput. Fewer errors. New operators could be trained quickly because the system guided every step.
Kreg had expanded into battery-powered tools — including lithium-ion products with strict shipping compliance requirements. E2 built conditional logic directly into the packout workflow, handling complex if-then scenarios for different product types automatically. They also integrated a box selector tool that eliminated guesswork in packaging decisions.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Peak order fulfillment time | 1 full week | Done by 1PM the next day |
| Operator decision-making | Manual, experience-dependent | System-guided, trainable |
| Packaging compliance | Manual tracking | Automated conditional logic |
| Labor at peak | High headcount required | Fewer packers, same output |
The transformation wasn't just operational — it was cultural. Teams weren't scrambling anymore. Peak season went from an all-hands crisis to a manageable, repeatable process.
E2 didn't come in with a generic playbook. They came in with deep expertise in the Infios WMS, a Kaizen-driven approach to continuous improvement, and a willingness to get into the details of Kreg's specific workflows.
No rip-and-replace. No months-long implementation. Just focused, collaborative problem-solving that connected directly to outcomes.
No ramp-up. E2 arrived already certified and fluent in Infios WMS — and went straight to work.
Continuous, targeted improvement — not a wholesale replacement that disrupts operations.
We only win when our customers win — outcomes matter more than deliverables.
If your WMS is live but your processes still have room to grow, let's talk. Our certified Infios consultants are ready to dig in and find the friction.
How a major international airline eliminated manual parts tracking bottlenecks with Infios WMS — keeping aircraft in the air and maintenance crews moving.
Our maintenance crews used to spend hours hunting for parts. Now the system tells them exactly where to go. The difference on the tarmac has been night and day. — Director of MRO Operations
Major International Airline — Full Feature Video
16 × 9 · Feature LengthIn commercial aviation, a delayed aircraft part isn't just a warehouse problem — it's a gate delay, a missed connection, and a passenger experience failure. For this major international airline, their MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) parts distribution operation was running on tribal knowledge, manual spreadsheets, and institutional memory.
Parts were located by experience, not by system. Shelf addresses were inconsistent. Demand spikes during heavy maintenance cycles meant technicians could spend hours searching for a component that was theoretically in stock — just not findable.
Regulatory compliance added another layer. Aviation parts require precise traceability — lot numbers, expiry dates, and airworthiness certificates. Manual processes made audit preparation a multi-day effort.
The airline's supply chain leadership knew they needed a partner who could bring structure without disrupting active operations — and who understood the regulatory demands of aviation parts handling.
E2 Solutions brought both: deep Infios WMS expertise and a structured implementation methodology designed to work around active maintenance schedules, not against them.
E2 designed and implemented a standardized location schema across the parts warehouse — eliminating the ambiguity that caused technician search time. Every part has an address. Every address is in the system.
Infios WMS directed every putaway and pick, eliminating the need for technicians to remember or guess. High-velocity parts were repositioned to minimize travel time during shift peaks.
Lot tracking, expiry management, and airworthiness certificate linkage were embedded directly into receiving and pick workflows. Audit preparation dropped from days to hours.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Parts locate time | Hours per search | 60% reduction — minutes, not hours |
| Compliance documentation | Manual, multi-day audit prep | System-generated, audit-ready |
| Technician training time | Weeks of mentored floor time | System-guided from day one |
| Inventory accuracy | Experience-dependent | 100% system-tracked |
Aviation MRO doesn't tolerate generic solutions. Every workflow, every compliance requirement, every parts classification had to be handled correctly from day one — because there's no room for error when aircraft are involved.
E2 brought the system knowledge to implement correctly and the operational discipline to work within an active, never-stops environment. That's what 15+ years of WMS implementation experience looks like in practice.
Aviation parts requirements were embedded in the workflow — not bolted on after the fact.
Work continued uninterrupted throughout the implementation — no maintenance windows sacrificed.
When experienced staff retire or transfer, the system retains the knowledge — not the person.
Let's talk about how E2 can bring system discipline to your most complex distribution challenges — without disrupting what you have today.
