Warehouse Automation - Solution Selection Steps

PEKAES has been using warehouse process management software for many years. But the existing system no longer met the company's expectations, and did not provide opportunities for further development. Also, the equipment used by the logistics units required modernization or partial replacement. Under the influence of these reasons, PEKAES decided to completely replace the software and hardware.

The new solution was to provide fast and error-free localization of shipments, access to stock information, enabling the company to effectively manage the flow of goods from many senders to multiple recipients.

Automation of logistics with the help of the Qguar WMS Pro system was dictated by both the quality of the product itself and the ability to adapt the system to the individual needs of the client. With a properly trained team of specialists at its disposal, Quantum confidently guaranteed PEKAES comprehensive services for: design, installation, training, implementation, post-launch assistance, as well as warranty and post-warranty maintenance of the software solutions used. The entire implementation process of the latest versions of the Qguar WMS Pro system in Blon was completed at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Automation Effects

The implementation and use of the Qguar WMS Pro system in the company made it possible to obtain an effective tool for all warehouse work. The possibility of serving more events in the same period of time allowed for much more efficient and faster servicing of all the company's customers. The elimination of operator errors, accurate issuance, and the absence of returns due to errors have led to an overall reduction in logistics costs. Additional data for analysis and more accurate reports allowed PEKAES to speed up all processes, this was reflected in the increase in the efficiency of the entire warehouse.
