With over 650 customers, 145 thousand square meters of warehouses under management and a proprietary fleet of over 700 vehicles, Brivio & Viganò is one of the main Italian players in the distribution and integrated logistics of food products. The 3PL operates on numerous platforms, 5 of which are proprietary and located in Italy and Spain, offering turnkey solutions that allow large-scale retail and industrial operators to maximize supply chain efficiency.
The logistics hub in Pozzuolo Martesana, in the Milan hinterland, was launched in mid-2018 and covers a total area of 23,150 square meters, equipped with new-generation storage cells with temperatures varying from negative (-25 C°) to positive. It is allocated 55% to the “frost” segment and the remaining 45% to the “fresh” segment. With a total of 31,000 pallet spaces and 50 shelves, the warehouse makes use of Generix Supply Chain Hub – WMS to manage the processes of all references.
An essential requirement for Brivio & Viganò in choosing warehouse management software for the new logistics center was maximum flexibility, to be understood as the ability to quickly activate new customers, manage a high heterogeneity of processes and promptly deal with specific requests.
Three features of the Generix WMS proved crucial in guiding the choice:
To complete the project, the adoption of Generix Supply Chain Hub – TradeXpress made it possible to integrate incoming flows into the original formats, without having to impose file transformation interventions on Brivio & Viganò’s clients. The same technology was also used to provide the outbound flow files in the formats requested by the clients.
The choice of 3PL was also influenced by Generix Group’s more than twenty years of experience in the food distribution and logistics services sector, with numerous domestic and international references.
Three characteristics of the Generix WMS were fundamental in our choice: the availability of the platform as a SaaS service; multi-client management; and the breadth of functional coverage. Also decisive was the thirty years of experience that Generix Group has in the market of solutions for the logistics and distribution of food products: for us, such a solid and long-standing experience is a very important added value, a guarantee of reliability.
