Our Client

Our client is a large-scale enterprise in the field of distribution and marketing; belonging to a group with wide influence in Asia. The enterprise specializes in providing genuine products from famous brands, ensuring quality and prestige to consumers.

The four main areas in which our clients are operating are: Photo and Printing, Mother and Baby Care, Cosmetics and Medical Imaging Systems. With the mission of providing an efficient Logistics operation chain for manufacturing and trading enterprises and bringing high value to consumers; our clients are always looking for innovative solutions and optimizing operating processes.

Background

Our client needs to optimize the operational process at the DC (distribution center) warehouse for the FMCG segment. This included transferring all operations from manual data entry and processing to a modern, highly integrated warehouse management system (WMS), which allows data to be updated continuously and accurately.

Coyote had to ensure that the new operational process was established and implemented to achieve information management automation, from warehousing, inventory management, to order processing and distribution, to minimize errors and increase order processing speed.

The challenge was to optimize storage space, improve the ability to forecast demand for goods, and enhance the ability to access product information in real time. In addition, the client also wanted to reduce downtime during the goods processing, especially during peak seasons when demand spikes.

Coyote’s DC Warehouse Operation Optimization Plan

First of all, we provide specialized consulting solutions for the supply chain based on the actual situation of the business. Our experts will comprehensively evaluate the current operating process, identify inefficiencies and propose optimization solutions suitable for the characteristics of each industry.

Following a clear orientation, we will implement the optimal operation of the supply chain according to the proposed solution, ensuring that the transition takes place smoothly, without causing disruption to the business’s operations.

The key points in the DC warehouse operation optimization project include:

Redesigning DC Warehouse Layout

Redesigning the warehouse layout is an important step to optimize storage space and increase the efficiency of product circulation. Coyote works with customers to analyze the flow of goods and warehouse usage density, thereby proposing a new layout that reduces travel time, increases accessibility and more efficient storage.

The new design will help optimize floor space, arrange appropriate storage areas for each type of product, ensure flexibility and efficiency in order processing, especially during peak periods.

Establish a batch/lot inventory control process

In order to manage inventory more effectively, we have established a batch/lot inventory control process. This method helps businesses accurately track each batch of goods by time, expiry date and other information, including the source of goods.

This not only supports quick traceability of goods but also ensures product rotation according to the FIFO, FEFO, LIFO,… principles to minimize long-term inventory and the risk of product damage.

Integrate business’s information management system with WMS

Coyote integrates business’s information management system with an advanced warehouse management system (WMS), automating and connecting all data from receiving goods, inventory management, to order processing and shipping.

This integration will bring information synchronization, allowing business to track goods status and operating performance in real time. This not only helps reduce errors but also increases the ability to forecast and plan goods more accurately, optimizing the entire supply chain.

RF Operation Integrated with WMS

When integrating RF with WMS, data is transmitted directly from mobile devices to the warehouse management system in real time. All information about product status, inventory quantity, storage location, and shipments are continuously updated and tracked. This not only helps optimize warehouse management but also improves traceability, especially in industries such as FMCG, where batch/lot control is an important factor.

Achievements

• Data on actual export, import and inventory are recorded in real time, detailed by each item code at each DC warehouse, displayed visually in the form of a chart on the WMS system

• Automation and optimization of processes help reduce operating costs, including labor costs and inventory-related errors

• Optimized warehouse layout helps reduce travel time, increase employee productivity, reduce fuel costs for transportation in the warehouse

• Increase the accuracy between data streams in the management system up to 99%

• Facilitate demand forecasting with complete, accurate and timely data

This optimize the efficiency of DC warehouse operations projects in the FMCG sector has been comprehensively implemented and brought positive results when officially put into operation. Through the project, the Coyote experts team has the opportunity to accumulate more valuable experience and professional knowledge from the FMCG and E-commerce industries.

This is a project that our team is extremely passionate about, as well as proud to collaborate with a customer who is both dedicated and visionary in leading the wave of “digital transformation” in Supply Chain and Logistics. Opening up many opportunities for effective and sustainable cooperation in the future.
