Dortmund, 12.10.2023 – The proLogistik Group, a leading provider of independent warehouse and transport management systems, services and integrated hardware in Europe, has been using Meisterplan since July 2022. By using the new project management tool, customers benefit from even better project management and more reliable planning. After a good year of use, the proLogistik Group is already represented as a best practice example at the Meisterplan Connect user meeting in Tübingen. Speaker Jochen Fischer, Senior Manager Project Management Office at proLogistik, talks about the individual requirements for a project management tool: more than 200 projects, 100 employees and nine teams have to be managed with the application at the software and hardware provider – and the trend is rising.Instead of individual Excel lists for project management team planning and a lot of verbal coordination, projects can be prioritized, capacities planned and reports created even more easily. Project managers can now see at a glance how far their task planning extends and when new tasks can be accepted.The second step was to plan an interface from the proLogistik Group’s Actricity ERP system to Meisterplan. After a successful test phase, the interface was activated in April 2023. As a result, the … Read more

Premiere at proLogistik: Children’s Day took place for the first time on July 14 with a colorful supporting program. 17 children aged between two and 13 accompanied mom or dad to work and had a lot of fun together. After a short reception with juice and snacks, the children first explored the building with their parents and were allowed to take a look at the offices. During the tour, the table football in the kitchen was immediately taken up with enthusiasm. The rally through the company then started with four stations: In the hardware department, the children created their own name bracelets depending on their age or were allowed to take the screwdriver into their own hands by screwing on a PC cooling plate. This was particularly exciting for older kids. At the marketing department station, the girls and boys were able to get really creative by making their own buttons. They created colorful works of art such as rainbow, BVB and proLogistik buttons, which they were then allowed to assemble themselves. At the next station, the People and Culture team offered various team games, while at the fourth station, the children were able to watch a “cinema presentation” of … Read more

Mit Retrofit zu einer modernen Lagerlogistik

The ongoing dynamic of change is also challenging intralogistics. Flexible, agile and efficient processes are a “must-have” in order to meet these challenges in the long term. However, making costly investments is sometimes not an option. Alternatively, a retrofit can achieve great things. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) play a decisive role here. Change has always been a constant. However, the pace has picked up in light of the pandemic and the change in demand behavior. It has also become apparent that systems and processes that have proven themselves over a long period of time are reaching their limits and are showing signs of chronic exhaustion in a figurative sense. Developments in online retail are also contributing to this. While e-commerce has been established as the “new normal” in the B2C sector for years, but has received a further boost due to coronavirus, this sales channel is also increasingly shaping B2B business. Intralogistics must also meet the associated requirements. However, if this is only partially successful, it is not necessarily a question of the existing system or the existing storage system. Rather, the required target status in terms of performance can be achieved with comparatively little effort through a retrofit at … Read more

There are many good reasons for optimal intralogistics. Find out here how the switch to a digitally managed warehouse works smoothly and how we can support you. How does the planning of digital intralogistics work? If you are considering this from your company’s individual perspective, it is advisable to answer a few key questions in advance: The results of the survey are initially incorporated into a specification sheet in more detail. You can make the circle of potential providers clearer or minimize it in advance, for example, by favoring only standard software and developers with a broad range of experience who can support you with their know-how in further planning. Tried-and-tested user interfaces and references as proof of widespread use are also indicators of guaranteed (software) quality. What are the opportunities and risks? The potential risks are offset by a wide range of benefits. It becomes problematic, for example, if the selected warehouse management system (WMS) turns out not to be tailor-made after implementation. After all, the WMS should adapt to your requirements and not your company to the installed software. Involving the workforce in processes If the targets defined and promised by the provider are not achieved, efficiency suffers … Read more

Erfolgsgeschichte der Lagerverwaltungssoftware bei Logis Move

From paperwork to digital intralogistics in just six months Sideshore AG is a young, dynamic company in Wolfhausen (Canton of Zurich) that has been operating successfully in the sports wholesale business since 2006. As an exclusive Swiss importer and retailer, Sideshore sells trendy sports equipment and clothing from numerous manufacturers and brands. At the Wolfhausen site, around 14 employees store up to 10,000 different items and process an average of 40 to 50 customer orders per day. A look back at the time without digital warehouse management Since the company was founded, the company and the range of products have grown considerably. Before digitization with the pLG WMS LOGIS MOVE warehouse management software, the warehouse was spread over two parts of the building, each with two levels, where the ordered items were picked according to customer specifications. This meant that employees had to travel long distances and were only supported to a limited extent by the ERP system. This led to inefficiencies and errors within the logistics processes, as no warehouse management software or MDE devices were in use at the time. Criteria that were important to Sideshore AG for the commissioning of digital intralogistics – including consideration of the … Read more

Glückliche Mitarbeiterin dank optimierter Prozesse

Every kilowatt hour counts. Reducing electricity consumption as permanently as possible is not only a key to achieving the ambitious goals of the energy transition. Even in times of rising costs due to energy shortages and galloping inflation, it is important to save wherever possible! Our latest blog article shows why digitalization is THE solution and how you can use a warehouse management system (WMS) to directly influence the ecological footprint and operating costs of your warehouse. Do you know chess? The associated tactical requirement is to gradually put the opponent under pressure with strategically well-considered moves and ultimately bring them to their knees. In the context of the energy crisis, the chosen comparison is perhaps a little bold, but not entirely far-fetched. This is because a modern WMS provides you with numerous options for permanently monitoring and controlling warehouse parameters and components, as well as allocating resources in a sensible manner according to targets. Identify and analyze consumption-critical processes To achieve this, the points where energy consumption is highest must be localized in advance. Obvious “power guzzlers” can of course be found at hardware level. These can be storage and retrieval machines and conveyor technology. The building equipment is … Read more
