StockSystem allows for accurate and clear material receipt, and a great deal of added quality value through the batch and expiration management package. With a product like ours where batteries are an integral part of every product, FIFO management is basic. Thanks to StockSystemEvolution, in storage you always know where the goods are, and inventory management is constant and updated every second.

NEEDS

An innovation-conscious company, in 2000 OVA's management decided to improve warehouse logistics management as a function of production.

After careful software selection, Replica Sistemi's StockSystem WMS was chosen.

PROJECT

All analyses related to material types and production line supplies were done.

In 2006 OVA was acquired by Schneider Electric, and from 2009 the transition to SAP ERP began, which was completed in 2010 in only 6 months, thanks to the perfect collaboration between the CAP Gemini and Replica Sistemi teams.
