And these out you of for a so you gross if can you is an benefit? thing about, roll that? meaningful up think the remaining to what's margin that size markets, impact Is us? was that I the curious, a as that or maybe expense And

James Leddy

Yes. early so year the scanning. truck out -- innings. onto is been we've a scanning very and I mean, a the it's This off-truck or for we're now now just rolling

seeing both The benefit. benefits are We and some profit. gross come in will OpEx

of whether manage overtime a as of warehouse in So the that expense it's inventory management we'll better us returns have hour. or errors terms better reduced result and and like things help overall and it'll

contributes there's we a roll learning training and to still -- it just better sense know of a to of don't this overall out from it So get I whether what want efficiency. lot involved. we're and

the but be may So where down a place to it, road. we're we're not going in we quantifying

Christopher Pappas

kind It's Kelly. must-do, a Yes. of

think tour organic as the to and of something reason So -- see you units is our I of and you can't talk goes and what correctly customers growth order really I'm that are hearing I such I growth that our competitors' our service our levels getting service but think and when operating service really part levels the that long is way. think great I our from that's measure, it's our and one for reasons our such that a salespeople, great the products than strong do we people an better levels, And incredible scanning have customers. delivered and besides process and us

can't you you more business. How is give customer think underestimate they they I you satisfaction. reward

to add them hard and So what they for ask when we customers delivering want categories it's categorial already. growth, you're not as ask more

a then long get So orders and that, take growth. the picking category taking way customer the growth, it's with an and key for asking for to for and to delivering the use technology a really is helps which important increased the factor goes it actually our online better just delivery, correctly to order correctly,

So we're about very excited it.
