Designed Conveyor Systems

“DCS truly was an end-to-end automation project manager. The DCS team made sure all the equipment was here on time and coordinated all of our automation vendors — all the way from commissioning, to install, to startup. They have been very helpful and supportive through this entire project.”

“If you’re looking for an independent, boutique systems integrator who will work with you to determine the correct solution that you need — not the one they happen to sell — then DCS is a great partner.”

“The DCS project team did an outstanding job enabling our pick-to light solution. Based on deployment, we’ve realized a 2X increase of productivity while improving overall service levels to our customers.”

“I am so grateful to be at a company like DCS, which sets the standard for how to care about both its employees and its customers. Since I started five years ago, it has been evident that consideration extends from every level. Because of this support, I'm able to perform my best work and still be there for my family. To be somewhere that provides growth opportunities, promotes a learning mindset, and cares to this level is a true blessing!”

“It's been a pleasure to work alongside so many talented and dedicated team members here at DCS. Everyone at DCS is committed to doing their best each day, and the genuine collaboration of everyone working together toward our common goal of supporting our customers so they can keep their promises to deliver on time makes DCS a special place to work.”

“DCS has shown me what it looks like when great culture and meaningful work authentically align. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with talented professionals while contributing to cybersecurity efforts that directly support and protect critical business operations. Being entrusted to help advance a security-first mindset across the organization makes this work both challenging and fulfilling!”

“I’m grateful to be part of a company that values transparency, respect, and work-life balance. Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to both use and grow my knowledge and experience in meaningful ways while working alongside incredibly talented, and supportive people. I’m especially thankful for the ability to work remotely while still feeling connected, included, and valued as part of the team. Looking forward to what’s ahead!”

“DCS has been the most amazing professional experience of my working career. The culture, leadership, support, teamwork, growth, and overall working environment we have is so fun and fulfilling. I have never been part of a team that wants everyone to win and be successful like DCS! DCS Culture is what you hope for your children when they start their professional careers.”

“During my time at DCS, I have experienced an extraordinary journey that has profoundly impacted my professional growth. I am deeply grateful for the invaluable lessons learned, the shared triumphs, and the exceptional culture that fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment in my daily work. The opportunity to contribute to such an integral group of customers alongside a talented team has been a privilege that I cherish. As I reflect on the past five years, I eagerly anticipate the next chapter and the continued growth and success of DCS!”

“It's a privilege to work for a company that is so focused on employee experience, especially in a P&C role, and it's afforded me the opportunity to do interesting work, to try things and continuously learn and improve, to build collaborative partnerships across the company, and to see and feel the impact of our efforts.”

“This company is truly dedicated to providing the best employee and customer experience, which I have seen first hand. I have been supported, encouraged, and challenged for the past five years and feel immensely grateful.”

“It’s obviously easier when you can do more with less, and it’s been proven that we can do more with DATUM™”

“From a benefit standpoint, that was probably one of the biggest improvements we experienced as far as order accuracy and completeness.”

“The biggest thing DATUM™ does is give us the ability to plan our labor better on the floor and manage work better. We’re picking at a 40% higher rate than before because we can quickly see where to assign associates,”

“We were able to give the DCS team immediate feedback about what was and wasn’t working during our daily wrap-up,” Sheppard said. “We would just chip away and work through all of the issues, none of which were ever major. They did a fantastic job.”

“Before, we didn’t have the tools to drop work to the floor efficiently or to know where to assign labor. With DATUM™, we have monitors that give us a complete dashboard view of every aspect of what’s happening in that area. That lets us put people where we need them,”

“The replenishment module in DATUM™ is really robust, and it’s helping us be more proactive and responsive,” said Sheppard. “With DATUM™ we have a dashboard that shows every aspect of what’s happening with replenishment in detail. That allows us to manage the process tactically and get the SKU back into the picking process as quickly as possible.”

““They were always available when we needed them, and they’ve continued to be involved after the initial project was completed as we’re working on the next phases. It’s a real partnership.””

““They analyzed the data and shared their honest opinion of which technologies were the best fit for our budget and our process,””

““Once the new DC opened, we were able to implement a new global parts shipping process between our locations, which is more cost effective and reduced our carbon footprint,””

““Together, they are much more efficient, and the associates enjoy working with the automation.””

““The picking efficiency has been tremendous because our associates no longer pick by paper to fill one or two orders at a time. Now, DATUM™ optimizes the picking, and the associates and AMRs work together, hand-in-hand,””

““Working with DCS is great. They have a heart for their customer. They care about what they do, and they care about solving the things we need to solve,””

““We’ve worked with a lot of integrators over the years. For me, it’s about finding people who understand our business, are collaborative, and treat us as a partner. That’s what drew me to Designed Conveyor Systems (DCS),””

“DCS truly was an end-to-end automation project manager,” said Jeff Weber, Graco’s Distribution Operations Manager. “The DCS team made sure all the equipment was here on time and coordinated all of our automation vendors — all the way from commissioning, to install, to startup. They have been very helpful and supportive through this entire project.”
