In June, Quidsi and Kiva moved the entire operation in less than 48 hours to a bigger, better facility 20 miles away. They started the move after processing the last customer order on a Thursday night. Then all the automation equipment, work stations and inventory was moved to the new building.

By the close of business on Monday, they had shipped over 7,000 orders from the new building using their relocated warehouse automation system.
