Cold store specialist invests in IT
Partner Logistics has deployed a new Warehouse Management System (WMS) at its cold store in Wisbech following a four month implementation project.
The new WMS, which is part of a group-wide ICT platform upgrade, aims to standardise the software used across all six Partner Logistics warehouses in order to improve flexibility, increase potential synergy between warehousing and transport and create opportunities to broaden the service portfolio.
Based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the WMS has been developed alongside Windows and Microsoft products. Extended logistics modules are developed and maintained by Boltrics, who are specialists in developing software for cold stores.
Peter Bryssinck, implementation manager at Partner Logistics says: “We’re very pleased with the successful outcome of our WMS implementation at Wisbech. The new system is highly-advanced and will play a vital role in ensuring Partner Logistics is equipped to deal with the ever-changing demands of the frozen food market well into the future.”
The Wisbech warehouse is the second site to implement the new system, following a successful ‘Go Live’ at Partner Logistics Gloucester earlier in the year. The next sites to convert to the new system will be Ieper in Belgium and Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands this Autumn, followed by Bodegraven and Waalwijk in 2017.
