In its newly constructed Logistics Center near Warsaw, Orbico Supply Poland consolidated the warehousing processes of its four subsidiaries (Orbico Beauty, Orbico Style, Orbico Salon Professional and NAVO) with 3PL contract logistics services offered to external customers, achieving significant decrease of operational costs. The company opted for Mantis WMS Logistics Vision Suite (LVS) to manage and optimize these unified warehouse operations for B2B, B2C and e-Commerce channels within the challenging period of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Orbico Supply Poland is a distributor of a wide range of global brands, covering a variety of market sectors such as Cosmetics, Consumer Goods, Food and Beverages (HoReCa), Toys, etc.
Orbico Supply Poland as a 3PL provider covers a wide spectrum of services including warehousing (also for dangerous goods), co-packing, distribution and transport in the overall region of Central and Eastern Europe.
Orbico considering the already strong and successful partnership with Mantis, decided to implement Mantis’ LVS, award-winning WMS in combination with material handling equipment so to achieve its operational goals.
This new project is the culmination of the long-lasting strategic partnership between Orbico and Mantis. LVS has been already implemented in several of the Group’s European countries such as Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Moldova, etc.
In this new Distribution Center, LVS manages and optimizes all warehouse operations including X-Docking, Multi-Depositors, co-packing, order pre-cubing, dangerous goods, parcel management and integration with several carriers, resulting to a significant increase of productivity and efficiency. To improve the picking rates, Mantis team implemented Aggregated picking. Consolidation was also implemented for goods receipt and storage as well as for orders coming from both manual and automated areas of the warehouse. Using Mantis LVS’s outstanding upgradability and fast onboarding of new clients / depositors, Orbico Supply Polandoptimized its logistics processes resulting to a high service level offering to its customers.
The expertise of Mantis, was proven a key factor for the success of the project especially integrating LVS with a great variety of Material Handling equipment such as shuttle system, Goods-To-Man stations, conveyors, dispatch ramps, etc.
