21.08.2013 – Press release

OKLE, highly traditional grocery wholesaler headquarter in Singen/Htwl. supplies nearly 400 independent retailers in Germany and Switzerland with about 10,000 products within its logistics center in Singen.

Challenges for an efficient and prompt order processing are a continuously optimal placement structure for the items in a wholesaler’s warehouse to ensure a firm order picking with the existing personnel.

This means in practice that the items which are highly frequented must be reachable with the shortest distance within the warehouse.

XMC delivered the solution for this problem with its unique PikXtr@ solution.

The effectiveness of this method and the easy framework that PikXtr@ needs, convinced OKLE to follow the PikXtr@ path.

As the German partner of MDB-SCS, XMC accompanied the analysis of OKLE.

Already a short time after the restructuring of the storage positions the order picking time savings were noticeable and therefore of course a higher added value.
