With the latest release update of the LOGIS MOVE warehouse management software, Volg Konsumwaren AG is entering a new era of intralogistics.
Volg is the specialist for village stores in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland. Volg Konsumwaren AG is part of the fenaco cooperative, which was founded in 1993 by the merger of six agricultural cooperative associations and, as a marketing partner for farmers, ensures that Swiss food reaches customers.
Volg Konsumwaren AG supplies around 930 small-scale food outlets, including around 600 Volg stores.
Volg has been relying on Dataphone AG’s warehouse management software since 2005
In order to continue to meet the constantly growing intralogistics requirements of the market, Volg opted for the release update – the latest warehouse management software version LOGIS MOVE.
“fresh and fresh” – this motto still applied after an intensive rollout night
The “Release update at Volg” project started on a Friday lunchtime and ended on the following Monday. Thanks to a flawless planning phase and a thorough testing phase, the release update was implemented without errors in just one night.
Mega rollout in parallel in three distribution centers and six areas
The LOGIS MOVE warehouse management system was put into operation simultaneously at the three Volg distribution centers in Winterthur, Landquart and Oberbipp. The changeover was successful:
“All sales outlets were supplied seamlessly without any errors or delays. The entire supply chain worked perfectly at all times without any noticeable impact.”
Stefan Näf, Head of Logistics/Informatics/Services, Volg Konsumwaren AG
Smooth processes in intralogistics
Finely tuned processes and professional equipment are key success factors in ensuring that the right quantity and quality of products are delivered from the distribution centers to the points of sale at the right time.
Every step in the logistics process – from goods receipt, storage and picking to final inspection and transportation – is digitally mapped in the LOGIS MOVE warehouse management system. Transparent data in real time is essential for the greatest possible flexibility in order to be able to reschedule in good time even in the event of spontaneous bottlenecks.
Service as the greatest good
It is not only the internal transparency of logistics data that is crucial for a service provider like Volg; seamless communication with the client through timely status reports is also at the heart of any warehouse management software.
