CROSSPOINT IMPLEMENTATION – CASE STUDY
About the Company
Just Master Activities is an import and distribution company with a strong presence in the FMCG market in Romania, holding top positions in the market segments in which it operates.
The company operates nationwide and has more than 2,800 outlets. It has an efficient logistics structure adapted to the flow of goods, which allows the use of modern distribution channels alongside traditional ones.
Some of the project challenges
- The reduced number of spaces reserved for picking compared to the large number of landmarks;
- Need for very high accuracy in delivery orders;
- A large number of commands with a small number of landmarks;
- New attributes within master data;
- Large number of interfaces with the ERP application;
- Sales prescriptions requiring dynamic conversion between equivalent products.
Solution
The Go-live in the Just Master Activities warehouse was held on February 1, 2017, and during the next months other modules needed to optimize existing processes within the organization were implemented.
Implementation coincided with the move of the logistics structure to a new warehouse, which allowed for a redeposition of the stock based on the put-away criteria included in the solution.
Full coverage of the scenarios by performing a detailed analysis allowed a fluid transition to the new workflow and a rapid adaptation of the team from the warehouse to the new procedures.
