Coldstore: Start-up in record time
Only six weeks from order entry to going live, just one single day for
the start of operations: Once more w3logistics AG from Dortmund
proved that it is indeed possible to run IT projects in the logistics
industry quickly and smoothly.
In order to accomplish this, it was surely helpful
that the warehouses
at two other locations
of the Dutch logistics service provider Coldstore B.V.
in Oer-Erkenschwick and Hamm
have already been using the warehouse management system w3/max
for some years.
Although, when looking at the details, there was a definite
need for customizing the software in Hengelo: Warehouse
topology, material master data, and strategies for storage and
picking had to be adapted to meet additional requirements.
The standard software w3/max was able to prove its flexibility once
again: All adaptations were implemented by simply reconfiguring the
existing solution, the software core stayed unchanged. In this way,
future enhancements can be made available at all locations without
any additional effort.
For Holger Schäfer, logistics manager at Coldstore, this is an
important advantage: "By using the same software at all locations we
now can share resources across all warehouses much easier. This
flexibility will be a benefit to our customers as well as to our
employees."
