Food & Beverage

Partesa is the distribution network specializing in sales, distribution, consulting and training services for the Ho.Re.Ca. channel.

In almost twenty years of history - and more than 60 thousand customers served in Italy - it has achieved maximum distribution capillarity, a careful portfolio of quality products, personalized services and great logistic solidity.

With a particularly innovative approach to the market, "Partesa per il Vino" was born in 1999, a structure to affirm the centrality of the distributor's role even in the quality wine sector and which already boasts a widespread presence in the territory.

Partesa represents a real evolution of the distribution concept, thanks to some factors that distinguish it.

Video Case Study Partesa Emilia Romagna

Partesa offers a complete food & beverage distribution service, starting with delivery at the required time and manner.

It constantly invests resources to increase the efficiency and quality of logistics services, to improve safety in warehouses and at consumption points where facilities are installed. It is able to guarantee and sustain a delivery punctuality and completeness rate of 96% despite the large numbers: more than 1 million orders processed each year corresponding to about 23 million packages delivered.

NEEDS

The reorganization of the business was done by pursuing three main strategies:

Territorial rationalization of business units
Outsourcing of warehouse activities
Computerization of warehouse management systems

Rationalization of operating units was achieved by homogeneous relocation of operating facilities over the territory and reduction of storage and goods preparation points. Thus, there has been a shift from 14 warehouses to a single warehouse in Imola and 7 transit points.

The outsourcing of warehouse activities led to cost containment through synergies with partners and the transformation of fixed costs into variable ones, thus greater flexibility.

In addition, it has led to the timely procurement on the market of functional professionals for the company's needs (seasonality), thanks to the labor market knowledge of third-party companies, and to the improvement of internal organization, thanks to the comparison with people with high experience in warehouse management.

SOLUTIONS

The first phase involved the analysis and installation of StockSystem, Replica Sistemi's wms, for warehouse management using radio frequency and barcode.

In the second phase, SMA.I.L:)Voice, the module with voice synthesis and recognition technology, was implemented in the central warehouse: the real logistics voice picking.

The main problems in logistics flow management are:

high number of references:

- 3,500 references

- 2,200,000 packages/year

- 100,810 orders

- 12- to 24-hour deliveries

- 2,500,000 Stock

picking 95% total shipment volume:
non-Italian cooperative operators;
strong seasonality.

WMS: StockSystem
Add-on: SMA.I.L:) Voice

Voice Hardware: 14 terminals Voice Talkman T5
Hand-held Hardware: 37 terminals Honeywell 9551

The first phase (installation of StockSystem) began in October 2006 with analysis and ended in late November of that year with the go live of shipments.

The second phase (installation of StockVoice) lasted only 12 days: it began on May 15, 2009 with analysis and ended on May 27 after only 2 days of test-instruction and system startup.

Voice picking logistics.

The system has a very high return on investment due to increased operator productivity (+11%) both in terms of speed and accuracy in material preparation.

The subcontractor was involved in the ROI, so by estimating that picking is worth 50% of the tariff, a 4% tariff reduction was agreed upon against an 11% increase in picking productivity: this allowed a return on investment in 2 years and left a margin for the subcontractor (3% productivity and the optimizations resulting from error reduction).
