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

The company

SONEPAR Spain, (formerly REXEL) is a national leader in the distribution of sustainable and innovative products and services for automation, technical supply and energy management.

With 48 sales outlets throughout Spain, 630,000 part numbers, over 20,000 customers and 1,340 suppliers, Sonepar Spain has decided to promote a complete overhaul of its logistics strategy with Generix.

To improve its supply chain efficiency, Sonepar Spain has implemented two of Generix’s logistics management solutions: the TMS, for transport management, and the WMS for its five regional warehouses serving the whole of Spain.

We see our commitment to consolidated systems and partners like Generix as a guarantee for the future. Generix has enabled us to successfully integrate its Supply Chain solutions (WMS and TMS) with our ERP and logistics processes. The flexibility and know-how of the Spanish team give us confidence that we have chosen the right partner.
