A company that provides digital, automated and scalable e-commerce solutions across Europe through numerous partnerships, required the support of RGIS. The company employs more than 600 people to ensure that companies can focus on growth and that e-commerce logistics are worry-free. The Group has its headquarters in Switzerland, with other sites throughout Switzerland and Germany.
THE CHALLENGE
The e-commerce service provider secured a new customer that had an online shop specialising in non-food items. Having taken over all the company’s fulfillment, they faced a big challenge of creating an accurate and up-to-date stock file.
Due to a good reputation in Switzerland, with expertise and experience to handle such inventory challenges, the service provider approached RGIS to provide the following:
- Complete a physical inventory count of the customer’s warehouse
- Provide new and accurate inventory database of stock items and their location
- Check and count deliveries in the inbound department
- Merge storage locations in the outbound department
- Count and detect duplicate items in combination with inventory of stock items
