Discover the tech behind one prep center’s 10x revenue jump without growing the team.
How One Prep Center Grew from $100K to $1M ARR in Just 12 Months
Want to know how we helped a regional prep center scale from $100K to over $1M in annual revenue — in just one year? With over 700 Amazon sellers onboarded and expansion into Walmart already underway, this growth was powered entirely by automation through Octava WMS.
The Challenge
Before Octava, the warehouse relied heavily on manual labor and experienced staff.
Blocks Growth
Time-consuming manual processes — especially for Amazon label generation
Revenue Slips Away
Complexity in calculating service fees
High Hidden Costs
High training costs for new hires
Slows You Down
Dependence on product types and human accuracy

The Solution
The Prep Center reached out to us in 2023 with a simple request: to implement a WMS because they felt it was time to have a system in place to manage their warehouse.
But we delivered more than just software.
We offered expertise, partnership, and a roadmap to operational excellence.
Together, we didn’t just install a system — we reimagined their entire workflow. From optimizing daily operations to enhancing the way they support their clients, Octava became more than a tool — it became a backbone for growth.
And the best part?
It didn’t cost a fortune.
After switching to Octava WMS, the Prep Center:
01.
Automated the entire process — from receiving to shipping
02.
Was able to hire seasonal staff without training
03.
Implemented automatic billing and service tracking
04.
Used template-based workflows that adapt to any product type
05.
Gained transparent reporting and faster client support
06.
Relocated to a better warehouse — with zero downtime
Combining Deep Expertise with Powerful Technology
We resolved a major bottleneck in the receiving process with auto-matching technology —
the system now automatically links incoming items to purchase orders or expected inventory without manual scanning or selection, accelerating throughput and reducing errors.
Combining Deep Expertise with Powerful Technology
We eliminated the labelling bottleneck by introducing automated box assignment and label generation.
We removed manual steps from the Amazon prep process by automating box splitting and label creation. Now, the system handles packing logic and generates shipping labels on its own — improving speed and accuracy across all FBA shipments.
