Focus on the core business
Our company knows the food value chain like no other. Whether it’s about improving appearance, yield, taste, shelf life, tenderness, texture, or the label, our team understands the industry’s requirements and expectations. That’s what we do best.
When we decided to optimize the automation of our warehousing and shipping processes, the question was: should we do it ourselves or outsource it? Our team is relatively small because we want to operate with as little overhead as possible. If we were to do it ourselves, the solution would never be optimal.
We quickly decided to outsource everything that wasn't part of our core business.
Automation Is Not an End in Itself
All warehouse processes are automated. First, we took charge of organizing the warehouse ourselves by installing new, elevated racks and determining the desired storage locations.
With Exact WMS, the receipt and shipment of goods are automated using handheld scanners. Logistical operations, such as adding and removing items from inventory, are now also performed fully automatically.
But that wasn't the end of our digital transformation. Automation isn't an end in itself; our main goal is to make our processes simpler, more efficient, and less prone to errors.
A scalable and future-proof solution
As we grew, we faced a choice: expand the administrative department or automate the document workflow. We chose the latter. As we continue to grow, the number of invoices will only increase. By automating, you’re choosing a scalable and future-proof solution. That’s why we’ve further automated our purchasing administration.
By using Scan Sys’s scanning software, invoices are automatically posted to Exact. In addition, following the acquisition of the Polish company Agersol, we asked them to handle the implementation of Exact at this new location.
The starting point here was to use the design developed for Vaess in the Netherlands as a basis and adapt it where required by Polish law.
Overview, insight, control, and consistency
The automation of both the warehouse and the purchasing process has led to further digitization: less paper, fewer manual tasks, savings in time and money, a clearer overview, and better insight into current inventory levels and results.
The structure of the Polish administration also ensures uniformity in operations.
Simple Ways to Good Solutions
Our collaboration is going very well. We get exactly the support we need, when we need it. Especially since we don't have the necessary in-house expertise, it's great to be able to rely on a partner's knowledge and expertise.
If something isn't working as it should, it's easy to get in touch. We'll always find a good solution.
