THR to Implement IBS Dynaman WMS at Apeldoorn, Netherlands Warehouse
Plan to launch new WMS before high season hinges on IBS implementation process
SOLNA, Sweden, Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- THR, a leading supplier and developer of do-it-yourself products, has agreed to implement a new Warehouse Management System (WMS) supplied by International Business Systems (IBS), a leading global integrated ERP and supply chain provider. The new system will be used to optimize THR's warehouse operations and make its supply chain more efficient, effectively positioning THR as the fulfillment partner of choice in the construction/building marketplace.
THR's main warehouse operation is in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The new system will support its logistics and fulfillment operations.
"Our vision is to be one step ahead in providing continuously accurate and effective deliveries at the lowest possible cost," said Jan van Rossum, THR Managing Director. "IBS Dynaman will support our ability to fulfill current and future market demands. Its e-commerce capabilities will enable us to perform drop-shipment, reduce order cycle times and offer cross-docking solutions; they are a great match for our business."
THR's Dynaman WMS solution is planned to go live in February 2016.
According to Jorgen Holtmuller, THR Supply Chain Manager, "Our main focus was to implement the system before high season begins in March. IBS will deliver the solution within six months, allowing us to meet the timeline with ease."
IBS began the process months ago, with a value assessment outlining areas for improvement, defining its scope of work and assigning team roles to address inbound, outbound, inventory, analysis, integration and technology issues.
"We virtually created the solution before project launch," said Mohit Paul, Vice President of Sales, EMEA at IBS. "The implementation is the natural progression of our process. THR has been a great partner throughout, and we look forward to establishing a long-term relationship with the company as they improve the efficiency and accuracy of their warehouse with IBS Dynaman."
