A wholesale chain was expanding its operations, characterized by the expansion of multi-format stores and the adoption of an omnichannel strategy to create an integrated consumer experience. To achieve this, it was necessary to restructure its logistics activities, which were still not mature enough to support these strategies. The company sought ILOS to be able to carry out this process in a holistic and robust manner.
ILOS conducted a thorough analysis of the company's supply chain, examining all critical areas, including inventories, warehousing, transportation and supplies. The end result was a prioritized map with 7 major opportunities to achieve the planned strategy.
The recommendations proposed by ILOS covered several fronts, including changes in picking and receiving processes to improve operational efficiency, adjustments to the profile of delivery vehicles, structuring of e-commerce logistics and opening of a new Distribution Center dedicated to shipping high-volume materials.
Increasing the level of customer service and reducing logistics costs were some of the results planned with the implementation of the recommendations.
ILOS's expertise in logistics optimization is a valuable resource for companies looking to improve operations in an environment of constant growth and change.
