WMS supports growth

The Co-operative Electrical's 230,000ft2 Electrical warehousing and distribution operation is to use warehouse performance management system DeltaWMS with RF to support its UK wide distribution service for E-commerce and store network.

James Holland, MD of The Cooperative E stores and Electrical buying group said: "At a time when the biggest electrical retailers in the UK have performed poorly, we have increased both our profitability and market share.

"We have done this primarily down to outstanding prices, excellent customer service, and our rapid and very reliable delivery service. To ensure the continuation of the latter we needed a specialist warehouse management system that was dedicated to logistics performance and designed to support significant business growth. DeltaWMS ticks those boxes." A single DeltaWMS system will be networked across three sites, which handle customer orders generated by The Co-operative Electrical website and Co-operative stores, as well as managing third party distribution for other commercial customers.

DeltaWMS will be integrated with the existing transport management, business and e-commerce systems.
