Webinar program:
DEDOLES case study: Logistics management during a massive expansion
Case study management of logistics and supply in one of the fastest growing internationally Central European retail e-shops, Dedoles. The company Dedoles belongs to the group of companies that grew significantly during the corona crisis and entered new territories. A representative of Dedoles will talk about how the company adapted its logistics processes for picking large volumes of diverse customer orders for rapid expansion.
For the planned sharp expansion into 15 new territories, Dedoles decided to innovate its logistics processes (including stocking strategies and picking methods) by dynamically managing warehouse logistics with the WES (Warehouse Execution System) and digital twin and IoT technologies. Increasing the operational intelligence of the warehouse allows the company to use the possibilities of omni-channel distribution when handling customer orders (order fulfillment) in accordance with the concept of new retail (Retail 4.0).
Intelligent automation of warehouse logistics and hybrid supply strategies
Online stores and e-shops are not only experiencing the onslaught of orders on their customer and order platforms, but above all on their warehouse and distribution processes. To ensure fast picking cycles, especially for high-turnover goods, to prevent bottlenecks as well as to increase the efficiency of supply operations, intelligent algorithms are currently being used, which at the same time enable dynamic management of the warehouse and supply in real time.
The combination of technologies for intelligent and dynamic management of picking operations and logistics processes together with appropriately chosen operating strategies and picking methods enables companies to flexibly scale their business activities and grow further.
Post-pandemic acceleration of global trends in logistics
The paths that manufacturing, logistics and retail companies must take in order to survive in the competition are largely determined by customer behavior and preferences. It turns out that shopping trends that were identified even before the pandemic are not changing. It is also important to choose technologies that can achieve higher productivity, accuracy and be able not only to collect data, but also to evaluate it and thus make qualified decisions.
Digitization of the enterprise and the supply chain stands at the threshold of this journey. Likewise, facilities and workers in the front line, whose inputs and activities are determined by other system processes. What are the latest trends in this area and what technologies are currently being built on by the most successful global players in production and logistics, you will learn in the webinar.
