Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Industry Challenges

THE CHALLENGE

Our client who works in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry operates in an environment where product demand is constant, order volumes are high, and inventory turnover is rapid. Managing thousands of SKUs with short shelf lives, strict expiry requirements, and frequent promotional activities creates significant operational complexity. Their warehouse needed to process goods quickly and accurately to prevent delays, stockouts, and spoilage.

THE PROBLEM

This client was relying on a combination of spreadsheets and outdated software to manage inventory. This was resulting in inaccurate stock levels, difficulty tracking expiry dates and batch numbers, slow order fulfilment during demand spikes, poor coordination between inbound, storage, and outbound activities and the inability to support omnichannel fulfilment (retail, wholesale, ecommerce).

THE SOLUTION

By implementing the THINK Warehouse Management System, they now have real-time visibility, automation, and control over their warehouse operations. They can now track inventory in real-time with automated scanning and system updates, can manage batch and expiry dates to ensure FIFO/FEFO compliance, have optimsed picking strategies, have automated replenishment to prevent stockouts, performance analytics to improve labour and operational efficiency and can integrate their ERP, transportation systems, and ecommerce platforms for a seamless flow of information.
