Simultaneous implementation of the SOLOCHAIN Warehouse Management System (WMS) in 5 distribution centers View the press release
Logidis, a company of the IBL Group based in Mauritius, provides innovative solutions in the mobility of goods and people to offer its clients smart warehousing and transportation solutions. Logidis offers a range of services in the storage of specialized products and their distribution throughout the island to effectively meet the logistics needs of wholesalers, manufacturers, and large distribution companies. With a storage capacity of 26,500 m2 and a fleet of 50 vehicles, Logidis manages more than 10,000 references and prepares nearly 25,000 parcels per month.
Logidis has been a Generix client since 2020 with an on-premise WMS solution. As part of the digitization of its activities and to support the group’s growth, Logidis entrusted Generix at the end of 2023 with its project to transition to the SaaS for its two sites. This “Move2SaaS” project, implemented according to a 3-month schedule, aimed to achieve several objectives: increase warehouse operational efficiency, optimize costs, enhance inventory management and improve operational traceability.
“The transition to SaaS for our warehouse activities allows us to better manage our operations, to fine-tune load vs. capacity matching, and optimize order line costs with a scalable, tiered commercial model. More broadly, it offers us increased agility and quick adaptability to new market opportunities with a reliable and more competitive offer”, explains Vincent PILOT, General Manager of Logidis.
Operational since April 2024, Generix’s SaaS WMS allows Logidis, in addition to integrating with other systems, to benefit from all the necessary functionalities for a 3PL (third-party logistics) activity: reception, preparation, traceability and variable weight management, quality control in reception and preparation, optimization of forklift movements, cross-docking, dynamic dock management, and creation of custom states/documents for each client.
“The SaaS model stabilizes and improves our logistics information systems. Additionally, Generix WMS’s regular updates allow us to benefit from the latest features and innovations to better meet the growing demands of our local, regional, and international clients,” adds Julian Anciaux, WMS/TMS Project Lead at Logidis.
The transition to SaaS also included the implementation of Generix DataPower, a KPI & Analytics solution that provides WMS business data within Logidis’s information system, while offering new activity management possibilities.
“We are proud to support our client Logidis in digitizing their activities to serve the growth ambition of the company. The main challenge of the project was to ensure a cloud migration of the WMS with the same scope while keeping intact the operating model of Logidis. We also had to ensure efficient connectivity due to localization of the customer in the Indian ocean. Our teams worked hand in hand to make this project a common success that opens up great innovation perspective for the future”, assures Pierre Chaffardon, General Manager EMEA North & Asia Pacific at Generix.
The next step in this collaboration will be the deployment of Generix’s SaaS Transportation Management System (TMS) solution to manage the vehicle fleet and optimize routes. It will also include the deployment of the driver application for better process control of tracking and delivery.[Saut de retour à la ligne]
