25.02.2013

The Beaumanoir Group is optimising management of the logistics of its 680 Cache-Cache shops in China thanks to Generix Collaborative Supply Chain solutions by Generix Group, adjusted by Open China to local specificities.

Generix Group, publisher of collaborative software for the retail ecosystem, announced that Beaumanoir, specialist in fashion, ready-to-wear and textiles, had chosen GCS WMS and GCS KPIs Cockpit solutions to optimise the logistics management of its Cache-Cache shops in China and to support its growth there. Adaptation of the solutions to the Chinese market was assigned to Open China, the Chinese subsidiary of Open, a reference among the top ten French IT services companies.

"Beaumanoir Group owns 680 Cache-Cache boutiques in China. It represents several thousands of multi-channel consumers that we must deal with as efficiently as possible" explains Henri Pierre Dewulf, Managing Director of Beaumanoir. "But, in a country as vast as China, this efficiency requires the logistics system to be optimal. That's why we want to equip our Chinese warehouse with logistics tools that can manage multi-channel flows."

This is why Beaumanoir decide to trust Generix Collaborative Supply Chain solutions by Generix Group, which guarantee management of all warehouse flows in real-time, optimisation of the entire logistics chain and meet the requirement for general visibility of logistics providers.

"We were immediately convinced by the extensiveness of the GCS WMS and GCS KPIs Cockpit solutions and the ease with which they adapt to our environment. Now, thanks to Generix Group, our warehouse which employs 40 people has become a real cross-channel warehouse", added Henri Pierre Dewulf.

GCS WMS and GCS KPIs Cockpit solutions were implemented in partnership with Open China.
"Within this project, we played the role of integrator between Generix Group and Beaumanoir Group in Shanghai", stated Laurent Lévy, Director of International Development of Open and Managing Director of Open China. « Based on our four years' existence in Shanghai, we adapted some of the software functionalities to local specificities. We also carry out maintenance and provide local support in Chinese." On the strength of recognised experience in the Retail sector in China, with references like Métro and Auchan, Open China intends to develop its activity in the field of the Supply Chain by integrating Generix Collaborative Supply Chain solutions to its portfolio.

GCS WMS and GCS KPI are part of the Generix Collaborative Supply Chain range.

Thanks to its modularity and powerful settings, GCS WMS is designed to the business and organisation of each company. GCS WMS is mainly for multi-channel retailers, pure player e-retailers, manufacturers and logistics service providers thanks to its evolution and its ability to efficiently process warehouse flows, regardless of the products.

GCS KPIs Cockpit is a decision aid tool that provides a host of indicators to facilitate warehouse control and analysis operations and to boost the efficiency of employees. Organisation, development opportunities, investment choices, training choices and choices to change model are some of the indicators which make up proper strategic avenues for improvement for Supply Chain actors.
