Ausgangssituation
It was necessary to replace the existing software – Pixi – so as to attain the higher-level corporate goal: ‘fast customer delivery‘; the replacement took into account the new activity-sequences, quantity and requirements, all directed at growth.
Starting-point
An aspect of replacing the old software was to re-plan the whole process of sending the goods – from goods-in, via stock maintenance across all warehouse facilities, to dealing with goods dispatch – this task included order-picking and order-packaging, processing the consignment to send it, and handling returns. A management consultancy accompanied this project. Changes were made, accompanying the reworked definitions of organisations and processes, the new building concept, the goods-storage planning, and the detail planning of the extended logistics facility; these changes included the introduction of systems such as a materials-flow calculator, a dispatch system, and a goods-administration system.
The project was concluded successfully within three months.
„Since 2012, we have had a cooperation with e-velopment, based on trust. Having introducing 360e LOGISTIK, the warehouse-management system, when we consider growth in numbers of orders dispatched, as well as internationalisation – key strategic components for us – we no longer need to give any more thought to the logistics-relevant systems involved in this. By now, with more than 20,000 dispatches per day, several sites, and our delivery promise “ordered up to 4 pm, sent today“, we need to be able to rely on our warehouse management system. e-velopment‘s system makes all process steps transparent. And the high level of configurability secures us the day-to-day flexibility that we need, to fulfil our customers‘ high expectations.“
