Goods to Person Solutions
Introduction
Goods-to-person (GTP) automation reimagines the picking process. Instead of operators travelling through the warehouse to locate inventory, storage and retrieval systems bring the required stock directly to a fixed picking station.
SAS delivered Australia’s first installation of this high-density GTP system for a national office supplies distributor, designed around a simple challenge: how do you keep pace with steadily growing pick volumes while making the most of your available floor space and workforce capacity?
By bringing inventory to the operator, the solution helps reduce unnecessary travel, improve picking efficiency and create greater capacity within the existing operation, allowing teams to focus their time and capability where they deliver the most value.

We offer a comprehensive range including automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), goods-to-person robotic picking, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), sortation systems, and warehouse control software. We are the authorised Australian reseller for OPEX Corporation.
We conduct a detailed operational assessment and data analysis to model ROI scenarios specific to your business. We only recommend automation where it delivers a clear, quantifiable return on investment — typically within 3–5 years.
Yes. Our Warehouse Control Software (WCS) integrates with leading WMS, ERP, and TMS platforms including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and many others. We manage the full integration project as part of our implementation service.
Timelines vary by project complexity. A standard OPEX Perfect Pick installation typically takes 4–6 months from contract to go-live. Large-scale AS/RS projects may take 9–18 months. We provide detailed project schedules during the design phase.
Yes. Automation significantly reduces manual labour dependency for repetitive tasks. Most clients see 40–70% labour reductions in picking and sortation functions, allowing your team to focus on higher-value activities.
