Challenge

The starting point.

One of the country's most modern mass-consumption Cash & Carry operations, supplying a range of professionals daily — grocers, mini-markets, hospitality, catering, canteens, drugstores and care homes.

Large-scale distribution demands tight control of purchasing and negotiation — knowing on each transaction exactly how much is earned on each item.

It was necessary to process goods reception, checking and dispatch using PDAs with barcode scanners.

Solution

How we approached it.

Renewal of the entire server infrastructure for the management applications.

MULTI Distribuição as a vertical solution for end-to-end management — Human Resources, Accounting, Stock, Purchasing, Sales and Negotiation.

Warehouse reception, checking and dispatch areas via PDA with barcode scanners.

Solutions designed so that Key Users have the online information they need to make decisions.

Outcome

What changed.

A more efficient, faster and more integrated process.

Control of what is earned on each item, on every purchase and sale.

The ability to adapt to constant market changes.

Optimisation of human resources with all information integrated, avoiding duplicated tasks.

Information for management is increasingly a competitive advantage for companies. INFOS, as a partner, is very important in helping us reach that goal. Dedication, professionalism and innovation are some of the traits of this partner that allow us to keep improving our management control.
