Did you know that a standard European trailer is 13.6 meters long? If you didn’t before, now you do. If you are wondering how this is relevant, try to picture loads of trucks averagely 13.6 metre trailers queuing around the warehouse all day. This scary sight was a regular happening at Iceco Group.
Iceco Group has been a consistent performer in the realms of real estate and food production distribution since 2010. With a reputation for operational excellence, Iceco has continually adapted to meet the demands of a dynamic market
Iceco Group is responsible for renting and operating its own or leased real estate while also managing food production distribution. Over the years, the company has grown substantially, but not without facing some logistical hurdles that needed urgent attention.
The Head of Logistics, Andrius Morkus shared how they addressed a pressing logistics issue with the help of GoRamp's Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Transportation Management System (TMS).
Truck congestions and logistics hurdles
Iceco Group faced a significant issue with trucks queuing up at their premises, causing operational delays and inefficiencies. The lack of a structured system for managing daily traffic flow led to overcrowding and communication bottlenecks. They were grappling with several challenges that were affecting their daily operations:
- Long queues of trucks causing delays
- Lack of a structured system for managing daily traffic
- Overcrowding at different times of the day
- Communication bottlenecks affecting efficiency
These issues were more than just operational hiccups; they were critical problems that needed immediate solutions, especially for a company involved in food production.
WMS and TMS - Warehouse efficiency combo
Given the complexities of their logistics operations, it was evident that Iceco needed robust systems to bring about meaningful change. When they wanted to choose a logistics partner, they picked GoRamp's WMS and TMS as a potential resolution to their problems. We offered them two of our solutions: the warehouse management system and transportation management system.
The Time Slot Management System within the WMS digitalized all relevant communication and provided clear performance indicators. This was crucial for Iceco to gain real-time insights and make data-driven decisions. On the other hand, the TMS simplified the transportation order process, allowing Iceco to expand their carrier options efficiently.
Efficient operational management
After the implementation of these logistics solutions for their warehouses, Iceco saw many benefits of the WMS and shared the positive results that were achieved.
- Structured daily flow of incoming vehicles, eliminating congestion
- Operational time reduced by 50%
- Operational costs cut by 25%
These results highlight the effectiveness of GoRamp's software in streamlining warehouse logistics.
Ease of setup and user-friendly design were key factors for Iceco in choosing GoRamp. The software's efficiency and simplicity fit well with Iceco's needs, making it an ideal solution for their logistics challenges.
