Sonepar Spain Revamps Supply Chain with Generix: A Case Study in Efficiency and Innovation
Boost Supply Chain efficiency with Generix TMS and WMS systems
Use Case
Summary of the project
Il Gigante, one of the leading mass market retailers in Northern Italy and a specialist in fresh food, has renewed its trust in Generix Group’s supply chain solutions and has chosen its WMS using SaaS (Software as a Service) to manage the logistics of its new e-commerce channel, launched at the end of March 2017.
Three major axes characterize the project:
- Creation of a dark store, an ad-hoc warehouse exclusively serving the on-line sales channel. Thanks to this, Il Gigante has achieved more efficient stock management and aims to reduce stock-outs to zero.
- Advanced e-commerce just like in the shops, fresh products cut, weighed and packaged on request can be bought also on-line. These have always been the brand’s flagship products.
- Click-and-collect method, with goods ordered on the e-commerce portal and collected from defined pick-up points: 10 pick-up points.
The value that Generix adds to the project
- Managing the make-up of highly heterogeneous orders: with WMS Generix it is possible to analyze their contents, direct them to different preparation methods and thus assemble them into single shipping units for final customers.
- WMS Generix manages order preparation of products packed inside the dark store, while for products of variable weights the solution integrates data received from scales in the neighboring retail outlet.
- Full integration with the e-commerce portal, on one side, and with tools for preparing variable weight products and for collecting the goods, on the other side: 10 interfaces developed and 4 systems integrated.
- Consulting services on e-commerce logistics processes.
