Implementation of the system in the company Znicze LUKS.
Znicze LUKS is a Polish company with an established position in the market, specializing in the production and sale of candles. It mainly serves wholesale customers, supplying its products to a wide range of customers at home and abroad.
Prior to the implementation of Weaver WMS, Znicze LUKS faced the challenge of increasing business scale. The company's rapid growth meant that its existing warehouse and logistics processes were starting to become inadequate. The lack of an integrated system for managing processes from production to warehouse release made it difficult to control operations, which affected efficiency.
Project objectives
The purpose of implementing the WMS was to organize and optimize warehouse processes and ensure full control over the product life cycle, from production to its release from the warehouse. This enabled the company to meet the growing demands of the market and improve the quality of service to its customers.
Weaver WMS at a glance
Weaver WMS is an advanced warehouse management system designed for companies that need full control over their warehouse and production operations. The system offers a wide range of features that support every stage of the process, from production to the release of finished products from the warehouse. A key feature of Weaver WMS is its flexibility and the ability to adapt to specific industry needs, making it an ideal solution for companies such as Znicze LUKS.
As part of the implementation at Znicze LUKS, Weaver WMS was equipped with several key modules that significantly improved internal processes.
Product tracking
Weaver WMS allows you to accurately track each product from the moment it is manufactured to its release from the warehouse. The system records all product operations, allowing full traceability at every stage. This functionality is particularly important for Znicze LUKS, as it allows the company to keep track of inventory and manage it efficiently.
Warehouse operations
The Weaver WMS system handles all necessary warehouse operations, such as receiving, picking, inventory and relocation of goods. This allows Znicze LUKS employees to easily manage the warehouse, minimizing the risk of errors and speeding up order processing. The system automates many processes, saving time and increasing operational efficiency.
Handling of pallet, piece and other bulk unit releases
Weaver WMS supports the issuance of goods in various bulk units containing a certain number of pieces. The system allows flexible order management, whether bulk orders issued on pallets or smaller orders issued in cartons or other packaging units. This allows Znicze LUKS to better adapt to the needs of its customers.
Integration with the host system Subiekt GT
Weaver WMS has been integrated with Subiekt GT, which is the overarching ERP system used by Znicze LUKS to manage sales, accounting and other business processes. This integration allows for a seamless exchange of data between the systems, which eliminates the need for manual entry of information and minimizes the risk of errors. Thanks to this integration, data on inventory, order fulfillment and other operations are automatically synchronized, allowing the company to manage its business even more efficiently.
With these features, Weaver WMS has become an indispensable tool in the daily operations of Znicze LUKS. It has not only enabled the optimization of existing processes, but also provided the company with the flexibility needed to further develop and scale its operations.
Implementation process
The process of implementing Weaver WMS at Znicze LUKS was carefully planned and carried out in several key stages, ensuring its effectiveness and minimizing the risk of disruption to the company's ongoing operations.
Pre-implementation analysis
The first stage of the implementation was an in-depth pre-implementation analysis to thoroughly understand the specific needs and challenges faced by Znicze LUKS. The implementation team conducted a detailed audit of warehouse and logistics processes to identify areas that needed to be optimized.
The analysis also took into account the integration of Weaver WMS with the company's existing systems, including the overarching ERP system Subiekt GT. Based on the information gathered, a process map was created and the key functional and technical requirements to be met by the new system were defined.
System configuration
After the pre-implementation analysis was completed, the configuration of the Weaver WMS system proceeded. This stage included adapting the system to the specific requirements of Znicze LUKS. The configuration also included integration with Subiekt GT, which required the creation of appropriate connections between the systems.
System tests
The next step was to test the system in a test environment to make sure that all functions worked as expected. Among other things, the tests checked the effectiveness of warehouse operations and the operation of integration mechanisms with Subiekt GT. Load tests were also conducted to make sure the system could handle a large number of operations and data. The tests were carried out in close cooperation with Znicze LUKS employees, who made possible comments and suggestions on the system's operation.
Training
Prior to launching the system in a production environment, training sessions were held for Znicze LUKS employees. The training sessions were designed to familiarize users with the new system, its functions and best practices in its operation. Practical classes allowed employees to test the system under simulation conditions, which helped them quickly master the new procedures and increased the team's confidence when working with the system after its launch.
Production launch
The final stage was to launch the Weaver WMS system in the production environment. This process was carried out smoothly, with minimal impact on the company's daily operations. Employees were already well prepared to work with the new system, and the implementation team monitored the system's performance and responded immediately to any reported issues. The launch of the system allowed for the full use of its capabilities and the beginning of monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the success of the implementation.
This well-thought-out and carefully conducted implementation process allowed Znicze LUKS to smoothly transition to the new system and quickly achieve benefits from its implementation.
Summary
The implementation of the Weaver WMS system at Znicze LUKS brought tangible benefits that significantly improved the operational efficiency and overall performance of the company. Thanks to the precisely carried out implementation and the flexibility of the system, Znicze LUKS was able to achieve its main business goals and adapt to the growing market requirements.
