Some of the project challenges
Large number of items of variable weight;
Diversity of the types of managed items (sausage, dairy, ready-meal);
Diversity of sales channels served:
- Platform
- Export
- KA Magazine
- Direct Distribution
- Regional Deposits
- Own Stores
- Cash and Carry Deposits
The logistics structure in continuous transformation given by the relocation of the logistics center from Mogosoaia to Filipesti;
Increasing volumes;
Changes in warehouse layout;
Strong activity in warehouses (24/6), without the possibility of an interruption in WMS initialization.
Solution
The decision to implement the Crosspoint solution within the Cris-Tim group came as a result of the requirement to unify and optimize the activities in the logistics area.
The project started in 2014 by implementing the WMS component within the central forest depot. Enlargement immediately followed the inclusion of the 6 regional deposits. Later, the Mogoşoaia Regional Headquarters was implemented, allowing for the unification of the entire logistics flow at the company level.
The related activity of other departments with a direct logistical impact such as the Auto Department, through Crosspoint Fleet Management, the Crosspoint Purchasing and Planning Purchasing department, have been brought together at the level of the Crosspoint suite implemented solutions.
Active tracking of performance metrics has led to periodic process optimization at logistics level. The implementation of advanced data capture technologies has led to better results of the Logistics department. All warehouse-level activities have been normalized and team and individual performance can be historically compared and analyzed.
