A Home Furniture & Furnishing retailer

Managing six global multi-channel warehouses

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The customer required support for an ambitious strategic growth plan globally which included moving into new markets and expanding its eCommerce product offering.

Our customer's business challenges

The customer wanted to improve the overall customer experience and reduce costs to serve and deliver seamless implementation. Issues which needed to be addressed were long order to customer lead times and high stock depth and aging redundant lines.  These areas needed to be addressed in order for the customer to meet his rapid volume growth target.

TRANSFORMATION STORY

Our key actions to meet our customer's expectations

We deployed global CEVA operations expertise to support local new site setups which meant we were able to implement service stream–specific fulfilment centers across multiple geographies for the customer.

Using standardized warehouse design and SOP blueprints through shared best practice we were able to set up seamless implementation. Our flexibility meant we could use customer and CEVA Warehouse Management Systems to accommodate regional client needs.

Our multi-channel footprint and capabilities have been implemented to fully support the customer’s online sales strategy.
