Catering Engros Improves Picking Accuracy and Operational Efficiency
Catering Engros is a leading Danish food distributor serving customers such as Monarch, Compass Group Denmark, Scandic Hotels, Choice Hotels, IKEA and Legoland. Its distribution centres (DCs) in Copenhagen and Middelfart each have a capacity of 120,000 sq ft and hold 21,000 individual stock keeping units (SKUs). On average the organisation ships 70,000 cartons per day from each DC.
The Challenge
Catering Engros was challenged with automating two warehouses and integrating WMS with its legacy ERP system. It also sought a system that would enable it to manage its 3 shifts per day, 24/7 operation in both warehouses and introduce proven standards and processes that would facilitate improved efficiency in its supply chain operations.
The Results
Catering Engros has enjoyed a multitude of benefits after implementing Manhattan SCALE™. The company achieved annual cost savings of DKK 1.7m through improved stock control, fewer truck journeys and 30% productivity improvement in picking processes. The company now has much better inventory accuracy and picking errors have been reduced by 90%.
