Operational Impact
The new logistics network meant several structural changes that helped grow revenues and still reduce costs. Decisions regarding when and where to stock products are made on corporate level, and allows NorgesGruppen to optimize inventory and deliver based on the combined properties of products and customers. | |
One important objective for NorgesGruppen was to create a corporate view of all business processes. With the decision to keep a company structure with several legal entities this could have been a challenge of magnitude. But IMI Supply Chain has made it possible to define corporate level processes for managing suppliers, products, prices and channels, while at the same time allowing local market and warehouse profiling— running all companies in a single system instance. | |
In the daily operation, the new solution has helped NorgesGruppen benefit both from increased automation in collaboration with trading partners, and from optimized and paperless production in logistics execution. | |
