When demand grows faster than storage capacity
Since 1850, Frantoio Muraglia has been producing and distributing premium extra virgin olive oil from its facility in Bitonto, southern Italy. Located within an urban area, the site offers little room for physical expansion.
As e-commerce sales and B2B demand continued to grow, exceeding 12,000 orders per year across channels with different fulfilment requirements, both available space and order preparation capacity became constraints on further growth.
To address these challenges, a SILO² VLM was strategically installed next to the shipping area. Integrated with the company’s WMS and equipped with the IRIDE multi-order picking system, it increases storage capacity and enables efficient simultaneous order processing across both B2C and B2B channels.

Frantoio Muraglia: premium olive oil, omnichannel fulfilment
Founded in 1850, Frantoio Muraglia has grown into one of Italy’s most recognised premium olive oil brands.
Today, the company handles more than 12,000 orders annually. Around 8,000 originate from e-commerce, while the remainder serve retail, hospitality and distribution partners worldwide.
For a premium brand, logistics is more than an operational function. Fast, reliable delivery is an essential part of the customer experience and a key element in reinforcing the brand’s premium positioning.

The logistical challenges
Growing order volumes and the simultaneous management of B2C and B2B channels increased operational complexity.
The company needed a way to increase storage capacity while improving speed and accuracy, all within the constraints of its existing facility.
The main operational challenges included:
• order backlogs during seasonal peaks
• limited ability to plan B2B shipments in advance
• errors during order preparation
• no possibility to expand the facility due to its urban location
SILO² VLM next to the shipping area: 95 SKUs and 9,000 items in just 23 m²
The SILO² VLM stands 6 metres high and features three storage columns and two side-by-side picking/refilling stations. Positioned directly beside the shipping area, it streamlines the flow from picking to dispatch.
Within a footprint of just 23 m², the system stores more than 95 SKUs and approximately 9,000 items, including ceramic jars and extra virgin olive oil bottles.
This high-density configuration maximises storage capacity within an urban production site where physical expansion is not an option.

IRIDE, ICON and ERP integration: up to 10 simultaneous orders with zero picking errors
IRIDE guides operators through every picking operation, indicating exactly where to retrieve each item and in what quantity. This enables multiple orders to be processed simultaneously with zero picking errors.
With two side-by-side picking/refilling stations operating in parallel, Frantoio Muraglia can process up to 10 orders simultaneously across global e-commerce and domestic B2B channels.
The result is a faster, more efficient flow from order preparation to dispatch.
ICON is integrated with the TeamSystem ERP platform, providing real-time traceability for every movement. Inventory levels are updated automatically, ensuring complete stock visibility across all sales channels.
