Gémo automates its logistics with Savoye

21.05.2014

The ready-to-wear brand, Gémo, has equipped itself with a complete solution designed by Savoye to double the number of deliveries to its 500 sales outlets. In the end, a network of INTELIS conveyors on two levels, a Bombay sorting system with 470 exits, and 8 feeding stations, were implemented in just a few months.

Gémo was one of the first brands to offer in its shops both shoes and clothes for the entire family. With 500 sales outlets to be delivered all over France and over 50 000 RCT (references-colours-sizes), the logistics of this ready-to-wear brand demands a particularly efficient order preparation. The constraint increased in 2013 with the brand’s desire to double the frequency of its deliveries to its shops, which until then had been essentially weekly. Gémo therefore called on the company Savoye, the logistic solutions division of the Legris Industries group, to automate its processes in its warehouse of 15 000 m2 dedicated to clothing, in Chemillé-Melay (49). Indeed it became essential to increase logistic responsiveness, which is undergoing reorganisation in particular with the implementation of a future »click and collect« service on its website, which demands deliveries to sales outlets more frequently than once a week.

The global solution integrated by SAVOYE is made up of a network of smart INTELIS conveyors on two levels to optimise the picking phase, with an ascensional system which allows the preparation stations to be fed in shuttles, and a Bombay sorting system by the manufacturer SDI integrated and controlled by Savoye’s WCS, made up of 8 feeding stations and 470 exits. »In competition with other integrators, Savoye stood out not only thanks to its experience in the textiles field, but also with its ability to offer systems which improve work station user-friendliness for our 140 employees, based on silent solutions and generally ensuring safety around these stations«, commends Jean-Luc BOIVIN, Gémo’s logistics Director. »We also appreciated the speed of the implementation of the entire installation, which only lasted a few months«. One of the feeding stations on the sorter was even designed in wood, for an improved appearance and feel. »We also worked on the colours of the machines and trays, to achieve an overall visual harmony, because this is part of improving working conditions in the warehouse«, adds Jean-Luc BOIVIN. All of the installations implemented by Savoye’s teams Savoye thus allow 14 000 items to be sorted every hour. For Gémo, it is the first stage in a vast reorganisation of its logistics with amongst other things the implementation of a new WMS.
