GameStop Material Handling Case Study

Key Technology

Reuse as much of GameStop's existing conveyor as possible
Keep electrical and controls costs and complexity to a minimum
Get product up and down from the upper pick module level in a small footprint area
Integrate infeed conveyor with a GBI tilt-tray sorter in very tight areas.
Schedule conveyor mechanical and electrical installation in parallel with sorter installation
Design and install a new IBC2003 compliant staircase in limited space, with space for a future third level on the pick module

Approximately 90% of the existing conveyor was eventually reused, reducing GameStop’s initial investment.
Successful integration of takeaway conveyor system with the GBI tilt-tray sorter sped up the receiving process of incoming materials.
BMH's solution allowed GameStop to keep up with the refurbishment rate on games and accessories, contributing to their 35% annual growth rate in repackaging and reselling previously owned products.
