ILOS redesigns a global beverage company's distribution center, ensuring capacity for projected growth and enabling the capture of millions in tax benefits.
A global beverage company hired ILOS to structure and plan its new logistics operation. Faced with rapidly growing demand, the company's operation was operating above capacity and needed to be redesigned.
Through a detailed study, the consulting firm ILOS defined the macro layout, the ideal storage structure, and the operational flows of the new distribution center. In addition to operational planning, ILOS conducted a comprehensive financial analysis, identifying over R$100 million in recoverable tax benefits, significantly reducing the investments required to implement the changes.
This project, carried out by ILOS, provided the client not only with the ideal logistical structure for its growth, but also with a robust financial plan to make the new operation viable.
