Dehnco Recent Added Value Investments

It’s been a busy few years here at Dehnco. Our business is growing – our E-Commerce and Ship from Store Distribution programs are growing and expanding alongside our legacy markets. With more and more requests for Retail Distribution, Omni-Channel Shipping, and Ship-From-Store Solutions, we have expanded our capabilities to address the pack and ship challenges that many of our clients are facing today. 

To accommodate and sustain the growth we’ve seen over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings and improved upon our capabilities in a number of areas across our business. We’ve hired additional staff and updated our facilities, software, and manufacturing equipment to meet our clients’ needs. 

We’ve put together a quick recap of some business updates and investments that we wanted to share with you, and we look forward to all that’s to come. 

Design & Engineering

Our Engineering and Design Team is made up of equipment experts. Our team works with our standard, in-stock components, but if that isn’t quite what our clients need, our team can also design, modify, and customize workstation and/or necessary workstation components to our clients’ specifications, in a timely and cost effective manner. 

Our Engineering and Design Team is available to assist every step of the way. Our team will conduct an on-site evaluation to assist with engineering, design and proto-typing projects. The on-site visits provide exceptional value, and allow our team to get a working understanding of current product flow, process, and integration requirements for each workstation.  An understanding of the space and flow assists in the development, improvement, and continued effort to provide efficient, productive, durable, and cost-effective solutions.

At Dehnco, we are always challenging ourselves to grow, innovate, and learn as much as we can in order to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies. We’ve bolstered our offerings and made improvements in delivery, customer service, and consultations. Over the last few years, we’ve created new roles to support our growing business and we’ve invested in additional resources to meet the demands of our customers.

• Create an engineering team to review and revise existing Amazon Stations and Carts to lower cost while maintaining functionality and efficiency. The constant re-evaluation of our product line and production process allow us to minimize need for price increases, lowers lead times, and improves the durability, flexibility, and functionality of our productions.
• Dehnco will continue to make on-site visits, as required, to assist with engineering, design and proto-typing projects. These visits are mutually beneficial, as they assist in our continued effort to provide efficient, productive, durable, and cost-effective solutions.
