Introducing a Game-Changing Project: Optimizing Operations for VLG, Hungary's Leading Cable Trader
In a world where efficiency and precision are paramount, VLG, a prominent cable trading firm and a vital component of a Central European cable trading holding, has taken a monumental step towards revolutionizing its operations. With an impressive annual revenue of $10 million USD, VLG has always strived to remain at the forefront of technology, leveraging its internal capabilities to fuel continuous growth. This dedication to progress led VLG to a pivotal juncture: addressing the intricate challenges posed by its expansive cable trading business.
The Challenge: Navigating Complexity in Cable Trading
VLG is no ordinary cable trader; they manage a diverse range of cable stock keeping units (SKUs) and cater to large-scale customers with custom quantity requirements. Amidst this complexity, predicting the picking times for various items became a formidable challenge. Consequently, efficiently allocating warehouse resources proved to be a perplexing task. Moreover, VLG's commerce team lacked a transparent overview of warehouse throughput and idle capacity – a critical factor in determining their commitment to fulfilling orders.
The Solution: A Partnership for Transformation
Enter Nextwit and Sterling, two trailblazing entities that collaborated seamlessly to comprehend and model VLG's distinctive warehouse operations. They embarked on a journey to construct a system plan that would automate the routing of picking, accounting for unique decision rules and processes. The result was a cutting-edge digital solution that illuminated the capacity needs for different roles and machinery. Real-time monitoring of warehouse activities became a reality, with pickers receiving task notifications on their handheld devices. Complementing this, a comprehensive Business Intelligence (BI) dashboard was meticulously crafted to empower the salesforce with actionable insights and facilitate the identification of idle capacities for optimized scheduling.
The Outcome: Transformative and Tangible Benefits
The impact of this collaboration has been nothing short of remarkable:
Enhanced Collaboration: The synergy between VLG's commerce and logistics teams has seen a significant boost, fortified by fact-based BI reports that serve as a solid foundation for decision-making.
