a-SIS implements maGistor at Verotrade

04.02.2014

a-SIS (the It subsidiary of Savoye, the logistic solutions division of the Legris Industries group) installed its WMS maGistor a few months ago at Verotrade, wholesaler and distributor for Amazon, vente-privée.com, showroomprive.com and Lamarthe. The editor has thus accompanied the group in rolling out an adapted IT tool, also facing up to the regrouping of its logistic platforms.

The wholesaler and distributor, Verotrade, called upon a-SIS at the end of 2012

In full boom following the purchase of the leather goods company Lamarthe, the group wanted to modernise its IT tool to integrate its new entity in the best possible conditions. The aim: to improve quality and productivity, reduce error rates, improve stock management and ensure technical support in interfacing with the back office IT tool. In just over 2 months, a-SIS’ teams, working closely with Verotrade’s logistic management, rolled out maGistor so that it was operational from April 2013. 25.000 product references were processed for companies mainly on the Internet such as Amazon, vente-privée.com, showroomprive.com, Brandalley and Zalando, but also a network of shops via the leather goods company, Lamarthe. Verotrade manages leather goods, shoes, suitcases and also textiles on hangers, which impose special order preparation as these products are fragile and have volumes which are difficult to define. The wholesaler and distributor works for these brands all over Europe, as well as in the United States with delivery deadlines of between 2 and 5 days inclusive.

Choosing a-SIS’ was not the result of a call for tender. « I knew a-SIS’ products from previous experience and I knew that the quality of their WMS corresponded to what I was looking for to modernise Verotrade’s logistics», explains Jean-Joseph DENTRAYGUES, Verotrade’s Logistic Director. « Once again, I was more than satisfied with the teams’ skills but also the quality of their attentiveness and their human relations». Working at the time from two platforms, one in Aulnay-sous-Bois (93) and the other in Gonesse (95), Verotrade had to face up to another challenge in July : the regrouping of its logistics into just one warehouse in (93). « Once again, a-SIS’ skills and experience were a bonus, with a site stock transfer system built into the WMS ». Aside from their initial contact, a-SIS’ teams knew how to manage the roll-out and transfer completely remotely. A few weeks after implementation, the logistic director noticed a significant drop in error rates which are now under 0.5%. As the results of the partnership with the editor which fulfilled all his expectations, Jean-Joseph DENTRAYGUES is starting a new project with a-SIS to implement full case preparation, particularly for orders for the same product but in several sizes, and in optimise picks in heterogeneous boxes.
