Case: Trading and distribution company

Implementation of the Warehouse and Transport Management System

The customer had decided to change its ERP system in the future. To secure the distribution process, they decided to implement a WMS and a TMS. The implementation of the WMS resulted in a paperless picking process with increased efficiency and reduced picking errors.

  • Analysis of the current situation

Result

  • Increased picking capacity by about 30% after one year
  • Reduced transportation costs by about 40% in the first year
  • Personal independence in picking
  • Improved working environment - reduced stress
  • Reduced costs related to error balances
