Dematic Enhances Scentsy Fulfillment Center With AutoStore(TM) and Warehouse Execution Software
Scentsy's 160,000-square-foot facility features Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software with an AutoStore system (with 20,800 product bins, 100 R5 robots, 16 carousel picking ports, and two conveyor ports) and a pick-to-cart system. The operation performs automated piece picking for e-commerce order fulfillment and allows Scentsy to increase picking capacity to 450 units per hour, nearly a 50% improvement from the 300 units per hour from its previous manual pick line.
'Like our customers, we continuously evolve and adapt. To remain at the forefront and exceed expectations, we transformed our approach so we could ship products faster, more accurately, and with better inventory visibility,' says Paul Klassen, Scentsy chief operating officer. 'Dematic has been a trusted partner throughout this journey, working with us to provide a solution, not just another system. Their expertise helped us embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and better prepare for the future.'
Scentsy's inventory continues to grow from frequent new product launches and stocking of discontinued scents. The Dematic solution maximizes storage space, maintains consistent processing speeds, and adapts quickly to fluctuations in demand. Customers receive accurate on-time orders, even during peak periods or new product launches. The solution helps conserve natural resources by reducing paper waste as employees access order information digitally instead of using printed tickets. Additionally, the efficient storage and retrieval process of the AutoStore system minimizes energy use, supporting broader eco-friendly best practices..
'The trust Scentsy has in Dematic underscores our dedication to providing innovative, scalable solutions that drive business growth,' says Mike Oren, Dematic senior vice president of sales for the Americas region. 'This partnership is a powerful example of how technology can transform operations and create exceptional customer experiences.'

Clear Start Tax Warns 1099 Truckers: Unpaid Taxes Could Lead to License Suspensions and Seized Refunds
With IRS enforcement on the rise, self-employed truck drivers face growing financial and legal risks from unfiled returns and unpaid tax debt. IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / As IRS collections intensify in 2025, a growing number of self-employed truck drivers are facing serious consequences for falling behind on their taxes - including the suspension of commercial licenses and the seizure of federal tax refunds, according to a new warning from Clear Start Tax, a nationwide tax resolution firm. The warning comes amid increased scrutiny of 1099 workers and rising reports of enforcement actions that are disproportionately impacting independent contractors in industries like trucking, where many drivers are responsible for handling their own tax filings and payments. "Most 1099 truckers aren't trying to avoid taxes - they're just overwhelmed by inconsistent income, complicated deductions, and rising operating costs," said a spokesperson from Clear Start Tax. "Unfortunately, the IRS doesn't distinguish between intentional evasion and simple disorganization." Clear Start Tax notes that truckers with unpaid taxes or unfiled returns may see their CDL flagged during background checks or compliance reviews, which can jeopardize their livelihood. In some states, drivers have reported license holds or suspensions tied to unresolved tax issues. "We're seeing more cases where tax debt causes ripple effects: seized refunds, rejected loan applications, even blocked license renewals," the spokesperson added. "For truckers who rely on every mile to make a living, these disruptions can be devastating." To avoid penalties, garnishments, and potential enforcement actions, Clear Start Tax urges 1099 truckers to act early - by filing any missing returns, reviewing estimated tax payments, and exploring relief programs like the IRS Fresh Start initiative. "There are options to settle what you owe - often for less than the full amount - but waiting only limits what can be done," said the spokesperson. "Truckers shouldn't wait until the IRS pulls them off the road." About Clear Start TaxClear Start Tax is a nationwide tax resolution company that helps individuals and small businesses resolve IRS and state tax debt through proven strategies and personalized support. From unfiled returns to wage garnishments, the team specializes in helping taxpayers regain control of their finances with compassion and clarity. Need Help With Back Taxes?
