Sanutal

Sanutal's warehouse and production area is larger than 20,000 m2, and the company carries more than 5,000 articles. To manage the warehouse operations as fast and efficiently as possible, Sanutal has implemented Tasklet Mobile WMS. The solution provides functionality making it possible for the employees to complete processes in the warehouse in a much shorter time than before.

Challenge

Paper-based, manual solution made it hard for the business to grow.

The lack of efficient and quick warehouse operation processes.

The solution needed to be simple, straightforward, and user-friendly.

Solution

With the implementation of Tasklet Mobile WMS, barcodes were placed on all inventory.

The solution lives up to all demands. It is also a solution that has already proven its worth on the market.

Result

They now have a far better overview of inventory and the processes in the warehouse.

Warehouse workers now have an efficient solution and errors in picking have been reduced.

A far less busy warehouse despite a 10% increase in revenue.

Sanutal’s warehouse was paper-based and difficult to maintain with a growing business and a rising number of orders. Implementing Tasklet Mobile WMS gave them efficient ways to complete orders in the warehouse, as well as easier stock control, reducing errors in picking.

Patrick Verdonck, Logistics Manager at Sanutal, explains how one of the biggest challenges has turned into one of the most significant benefits:

“Before implementing the Mobile WMS solution from Tasklet, the warehouse at Sanutal was 100% paper-based. We were not using barcodes for any of our articles, so the registrations of the more than 5000 articles with barcodes were actually one of the biggest challenges, but it was well worth the struggle.”

“Simple, straightforward, and easy to train warehouse staff were some of the requirements. We wanted a solution that had already proven its worth in the market, and that is exactly what we got.”
Patrick Verdonck, Logistics Manager, Sanutal

“A great feature within the solution is the opportunity for the warehouse workers to look up items and/or bins, move items, do unplanned counts, and so on, all of this on the spot."
Patrick Verdonck, Logistics Manager, Sanutal

“In general, we feel it is not as busy in the warehouse anymore. However, this is not the case, as we are more than 10% up compared to last year, and this is with the same number of employees.”
Patrick Verdonck, Logistics Manager, Sanutal

To make their warehouse operations more efficient and faster, Sanutal naturally had certain requirements for the WMS solution they chose. These requirements included that the solution should be simple and straightforward. In addition, it needed to be easy for the warehouse staff to learn how to use the solution, so they could adjust their workflows accordingly.

Past experience with complicated WMS solutions made these requirements essential for Patrick Verdonck, who states:

“Simple, straightforward, easy to train warehouse staff – that were some of the requirements Sanutal had for a new WMS solution. That box was already ticked after the first online demo with Tasklet Factory and our ERP partner, GMI Group. We wanted a solution that had already proven its worth in the market, and that is exactly what we got.”

Tasklet Mobile WMS has given Sanutal a user-friendly alternative to other WMS solutions, which makes it the perfect fit to comply with the requirements.

Tasklet Mobile WMS enables Sanutal’s warehouse workers to complete warehouse processes on the go. This includes the ability to look up items and item bins so the warehouse workers always have an overview of item locations. In addition, Tasklet Mobile WMS provides functionality to move items and do unplanned counts.

Patrick Verdonck appreciates how the “on-the-spot” functionality adds value:

“A great feature within the solution is the opportunity for the warehouse workers to look up items and/or bins, move items, do unplanned counts, and so on, all of this “on the spot”. Before, we had to go to the nearest computer or ask the sales department for help.”

Sanutal’s warehouse operations have improved significantly following the implementation of Tasklet Mobile WMS. The company has seen an improvement in both the amount of time spent on each process, as well as a decrease in mistakes made by employees in the receiving area.

According to Patrick Verdonck, the optimized warehouse processes have changed the entire feel of the warehouse:

“In general, we feel it is not as busy in the warehouse anymore. It feels less hectic. However, this is not the case, as we are more than 10% up compared to last year, and this is with the same number of employees.”
