Challenge

  • Outdated inventory system: Deuter's warehouse relied on an outdated inventory system of manual warehouse processes that couldn't keep pace with rapid growth for Europe’s largest backpack manufacturer.
  • Inefficient picking processes and high error rates: confined in a 6,500 square-meter warehouse, inefficient picking paths and high error rates in order processing made it difficult to meet growing demand.
  • Limited scalability and visibility: Deuter couldn’t scale operations and a lack of real-time inventory visibility made it difficult to optimize warehouse management. 

Solution

  • Real-time inventory management and transparency: Infios WM (Warehouse Management) provided seamless integration to ERP and suppliers to allow real-time automatic booking of warehouse movements and inventory visibility to the individual item level.
  • Optimized picking processes and reduced error rates: optimized picking processes and multi-order picking logic minimized walking distances and saved time, reduced error rates in picking and shipping, and boosted Deuter’s shipping performance.
  • Scalability and sustainability: Infios WM’s scalable solution supports Deuter's future growth and automation plans, while contributing to sustainability goals by reducing unnecessary transportation, returns and CO₂ emissions

“Partnering with Infios has transformed our supply chain with lasting impact.”
