Port Cold (Buhta: Warehouse complex)

The Port-Holod company started in the warehouse the warehouse management system WMS "BUHTA: A warehouse complex" within the state program of development of a fishery complex of the Russian Federation. System implementation in a low-temperature warehouse of 2,000 square meters took only 2 months.

Specialists of BUHTA company set in a warehouse "Port Cold" the ready WMS configuration "BUHTA: Distribution + 3PL" with the subsequent accomplishment of individual completions. It means that from the first day of work of a new warehouse all operations will be performed under control of WMS, and specialists of BUHTA will carry out necessary completions in an operating mode.

"Such approach allowed us to reduce considerably time for start of WMS, and, respectively, to begin a full-fledged work of a warehouse earlier. A possibility of rapid implementation of modern WMS with all necessary functionality it was basic for us when choosing a system. We calculate that terms of works on acceptance and shipment of goods will be reduced at least by 3 times", - the director of Port Cold LLC Alexander Levkovich comments.

Traditionally, start of WMS takes up to 4 months. But there is a number of opportunities to considerably reduce this time. The first – the choice of the company-inegratora. Ideally it should be direct system developers that "problem definition - its implementation" considerably reduces a chain. The second – the choice for benefit of domestic development that, also increases efficiency. The third – presence at the developer of positive experience of implementations of industry solutions. The fourth – strategically right choice of time of start of a system at the rate of a minimum load on a warehouse. And the fifth – the thought-over HR policy of the management of a warehouse – the personnel of a warehouse should understand what system is implemented and as their daily work will change.

Quick start of WMS "BUHTA: The warehouse complex" in a warehouse of Port-Holod company became possible, thanks to wide experience of implementation of industry solutions, flexible functionality and ease of settings of a system BUHTA. Besides, at present in a new warehouse of Port-Holod company loading is not maximum yet that allows to fulfill in details all transactions and to train personnel in work with a system without prejudice to accomplishment of the main work.
