we took a Seal kit with many parts and saved 27.5% of time Old Way New Way (Thanks to you!!) 11:15 minutes 8:11 minutes Savings 27.5% However, this does not take into account a large order and writing out the labels, (average no. of parts 50 per shipment) So I think we can bump up to 30% easily. You can see we turn the parts out, so that means many hand written labels are no longer needed, praise the LORD line items shipped FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE Tuff Torq manufactures Transmissions for lawn mowers Customer Success
