Twice a week Ici Paris XL delivers to 250 perfumeries across the entire Benelux region from its distribution center located in Vilvoorde, Belgium. The operation uses two techniques in its order assembly processes: Pick-to-Light for fast moving SKU’s and barcode scanning for the slow moving SKU’s.
Pcdata, the supplier of the system, combined both methods to create a completely integrated and highly optimized order picking solution. Thanks to this system, Ici Paris XL is now in full control of the productivity and quality of their order picking operation. When the current distribution center in Vilvoorde was first commissioned in 2006, the perfumery first decided to invest in the fast moving segment of its operation. “We were looking for a system, which could enable us to increase both quality and productivity of the order picking process. These are criteria which do not always go together. In the case of capital investments often one is at the expense of the other,” noted Danny Roegies, project manager of the retailer.
