Warehouse management solution streamlines processes and optimises picking across eight locations for KSA retail and wholesale leader.
Infor, an industry-specific cloud technology company, today announced that SACO, a retail and wholesale leader in the KSA region, has deployed Infor Warehouse Management System (WMS) with Infor ION, and third-party application, Loftware Labelling.
Optimising warehouse management
The Infor WMS is set to optimise order processing and picking, enhance put-away, and expedite the loading and validation processes. The project was managed by Infor partner SNS, a leading provider of supply chain consultancy and software implementation. Infor WMS will support SACO’s warehouse operations, which are managed by their logistics services provider MEDSCAN, following a merger in 2016.
With eight warehouses, high order volumes and in excess of 40,000 SKUs, SACO needed a solution to optimise performance across its warehouse management. As well as enhancing its picking processes, the company needed to facilitate seamless integration with its enterprise resource planning platform (ERP) to ensure a real time view of operations at any given time and expedite decision-making.
Large-scale deployment
“We needed a robust and scalable warehouse management solution with the in-depth functionality to support large volumes or orders and a wide product range across our eight warehouses,” comments Ibrahim Mahmoud, Group CIO, SACO. “The advanced functionality in Infor WMS ensures consistency across our operations, supporting bills of materials, picking, put-aways and loading processes using unique codes and integrating seamlessly with our ERP platform, to drive efficiency across our business. In addition, the deployed enterprise integration platform and Infor WMS facilitates collaboration and visibility to ensure consistency and performance both within and beyond our operations.”
“The scale of this deployment was huge, with additional challenges brought about by the integration requirements, and need to manage the project remotely because of the pandemic,” comments Mohammed Obaidah, director of services, SNS. “Having successfully delivered the solution on time and to budget, we’re delighted to be supporting one of KSA’s leading retail and wholesale companies in their quest to deliver best practice and drive performance.”
