GEODIS, the French logistics leader, chooses Generix Group to meet the challenges of e-commerce logistics
Paris, 8 September 2015 - GEODIS, the leading transport, and logistics operator in France has chosen the GCS logistics solution from Generix Group to meet the logistics requirements of its e-merchant customers. Generix Group is a vendor of collaborative software for the retail ecosystem. The goal? Adapt its logistic processes to the specific features of online commerce both in terms of quality and responsiveness.
Today, consumers expect e-commerce sites to provide almost instantaneous and customized delivery of goods purchased online. This demand requires that online merchants and their logistics providers implement specific processes. GEODIS, which has many leading e-commerce businesses among its customers, has taken the measure of this challenge.
"To give our e-merchant customers the means to address the new expectations from consumers, we were looking for a logistics solution tailored for e-commerce", said Vincent Castaignède, Head of External Logistics Solutions at GEODIS. "In other words, a solution that would enable logistics processes essential to e-commerce to be carried out in our warehouses such as customizing orders, mechanized transfer of packages from storage areas to detailed picking areas or the implementation of specific picking strategies".

In addition to the Generix Group's excellent references in many areas, we were attracted by the opportunity to partner with the Group to develop modules in addition to those we had in-house" Vincent Castaignède went on to say.
Through this partnership, GEODIS can address the needs of its pure player e-commerce or home shopping specialist customers. The logistics operator is now able to prepare orders more rapidly, to react instantly in case of a sudden increase in demand while improving the quality and security of its logistics processes.
