Reasons for the change
The reason for the warehouse management system change was the desire for increased performance and more flexibility in all functional areas. This was to be achieved on the basis of standardized software. The company also relied on the intralogistics system house proLogistik to select the necessary hardware for mobile data collection.
Advantages of the proLogistik Group software
The standard solution, specially developed for the building materials industry, has the advantages of an extremely wide range of articles as well as varying handling processes and differently designed storage locations. This saves time, because there is no need to program a large number of functions.
