GoodFlow™

Finally, a Smarter Way to Power the Outlet Floor.

GoodFlow™ increases sales, reduces injuries, and keeps your sales floor stocked — all while keeping your team focused on the customer.

Manual Product Movement Is Slowing You Down.

If your outlet center still relies on people — not automation — to move product to the floor, that labor isn’t just inefficient. It’s expensive, injury-prone, and unpredictable.

Injuries from Repetitive Motion

Product Flow Depends on Staff Availability

Moving bins by hand from backroom to retail is time-consuming, labor-heavy, and repetitive—slowing down product flow and increasing fatigue.

Lifting, bending, and twisting throughout the day leads to strains, sprains, and long-term fatigue—hurting your team and your bottom line

Without automation, product timing is tied to staffing—leading to inconsistent replenishment and missed customer opportunities.

Every Bin You Push Is Costing You.

The hidden costs of manual tote handling

60%
Lower Throughput

Manual systems process significantly fewer items to the retail floor compared to automated delivery systems.

67%
Higher Labor Demands

Manual tote handling requires substantially more staff time and physical effort for the same operations.

43%
Reduced Sales

Slower product cycling and empty shelves during peak hours result in significantly lower sales volume.

There’s a Smarter Way to Move Product.

Introducing GoodFlow™

The Emerald-powered distribution system built for outlet-center operations. Designed to reduce labor costs and increase sales, all while keeping your team focused on the customer.

GoodFlow™

Proven in a Live Outlet Center.

"For any organization serious about operational efficiency and employee wellbeing, this is a game changer."

“We always knew our manual tote process was a bottleneck—it was physically demanding for our team and made product rotation inefficient. But it wasn’t until we transitioned to Emerald’s automated system that the full impact became clear.

We immediately saw a dramatic increase in throughput capacity, a significant reduction in staffing requirements, and a sharp decline in workplace injuries. Our employees were no longer bogged down by repetitive, strenuous labor and could shift their focus to value-added tasks that truly make a difference.

The system didn’t just meet our expectations—it exceeded them. It paid for itself faster than projected, proving to be more than just a smart investment. It’s a transformative solution that has fundamentally changed how we operate our Goodwill Outlet.

For any organization serious about operational efficiency and employee wellbeing, this is a game changer.”
