"United Logistics" - under this working title, our "E-Com Integration Ochtrup" project commenced approximately a year ago. This is a story about successful teamwork across 6 independent suppliers and 9 sub-projects that commenced a year ago. All parties involved worked on integrating our external camel active E-Com warehouse in Frankfurt into our existing site at BLG Ochtrup. Moving 2 into 1 sounds easy, but the project name "United Logistics" was well chosen as we also set out to work on our IT infrastructure. Throughout the project phase, we encountered unexpected challenges requiring innovative solutions. Nevertheless, the unparalleled team spirit of all involved led to the successful Go-Live at the beginning of March 2024.
As our Head of E-Commerce Christina Skoeries puts it: "It was evident from the outset that this was a major project involving multiple parties and requiring significant restructuring of the entire system landscape. However, the benefits for our business, especially our customers, outweighed any challenges, prompting us to take this step. We aim to become more appealing to our customers by providing faster product availability, a broader range of offerings, and significantly more agile stock management. Additionally, we want to enhance profitability through increased efficiency and cost reduction. I would like to thank everyone involved for their dedication, patience, hands-on mentality, and willingness to 'unite' and work together towards a common goal."
The team enthusiastically shared photos and videos as the first orders flowed through the conveyor belt in Ochtrup. We proudly declare that we have succeeded remarkably because even after the first week of stabilisation, everything works well without considerable complications.
Thank you to ACL, OSIS, Körber, BLG Frankfurt, BLG Ochtrup, and Bültel.
