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.

Computerization of warehouse management systems took place in two phases pursuing the following objectives:

  • increased performance;
  • use of the voice system;
  • security of inventories;
  • elimination of the final control phase;
  • decrease in errors;
  • correct and timely management of warehouse locations, batches and deadlines.



  • 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).
