US Army Depot

One of over fifty such sites in the world, the U.S. Army’s Sierra Army Depot covers fifty-nine square miles, and includes over 1000 buildings that enclose over 5 million square feet of storage space. With tens of thousands of assets stored onsite at any given moment, hundreds or thousands of military assets including tanks, personnel carriers, weapons, clothing, equipment and related supplies can move in and out of the depot every week.  

What was needed

The U.S. Army’s Sierra Depot covers fifty-nine square miles, and includes over 1000 buildings that enclose over 5 million square feet of storage space. With tens of thousands of assets stored onsite an any given moment, and with hundreds or thousands of assets moving in and out of the facility every week, detailed knowledge of asset status, location and security is critical. Without real-time asset knowledge – of location, of status, and of security — it could take days or weeks to manually search through the depot to find specific equipment.

Outcome

Total asset visibility. With Savi, Sierra Depot achieves near 100% knowledge accuracy for assets stored in and across the hundreds of thousands of containers, pallets, vehicles, and shipping crates within the 59 square mile depot. Thanks to the Savi platform, Sierra Depot has been able to drive down personnel costs, improve response times, and decrease asset spoilage owing to environmental factors. With Savi, Sierra Depot has increased efficiency in virtually every part of its operation.
