Sparck Technologies installs three new CVP Impack machines at WebstaurantStore's Hagerstown, Maryland facility.
Since first integrating Sparck’s CVP Impack in 2020, WebstaurantStore has significantly improved efficiency, with some facilities reporting over 95% uptime. With proper maintenance, the Impack machines have proven to be highly reliable, operationally ready and producing 90% of the time, with some buildings exceeding 95% uptime. Managing more than 50,000 SKUs of varying sizes, CVP Impack’s fit-to-size boxing has been instrumental in reducing time, corrugate size and void fill consumption – all while enhancing throughput and maintaining low labor requirements. The automated packaging solution measures, constructs, tapes, weighs and labels each order every seven seconds.
“The decision to add three more CVP Impack machines is a direct result of the success we've experienced with Sparck’s automated packaging technology,” said John Bohn, Director of Implementation at WebstaurantStore. “From our first machine to the recent installation to our 13 th, Sparck has been a seamless partner, offering exceptional service, attention to detail and consistent support. Their technology and team have both been integral to our success.”
Sparck’s dedicated customer support has played a key role in WebstaurantStore’s fulfillment success, providing bi-weekly performance reviews, on-site technician training and ongoing efforts to maximize output and minimize downtime. The original 10 CVP Impack machines have delivered packaging speeds seven times faster than traditional manual repacking methods while reducing labor costs. Additionally, Sparck’s retraction rate with the machines remains just over 5%, reinforcing the reliability and consistency of the system’s performance. These savings have allowed WebstaurantStore to reinvest in other areas of its business. By reducing operational costs, the company can remain competitive in its pricing – directly benefiting its customer base. The addition of three more machines will further streamline operations and enhance WebstaurantStore’s ability to meet growing demand with greater efficiency.
“We are thrilled to once again expand our partnership with WebstaurantStore and support their continued growth with the installation of three additional CVP Impack machines,” said David Gray, Senior Vice President of Sales at Sparck. “Our fit-to-size technology is designed to deliver significant efficiency gains, and it’s clear WebstaurantStore has seen real, measurable results. We look forward to helping them achieve even greater levels of operational success.”
