Carsi, one of Turkey's leading retailer chain stores, with its
modern Supply Chain Management concept has become a pioneer in the
field of logistics outsourcing. On its quest for a logistics partner,
Carsi looked out for many candidates and finally preferred Ekol
among other global leaders, in order to reduce the space used for
logistics in stores and utilize these expensive places for selling
purposes instead, and to enable the logistics management in a more
modern and effective structure.After 19 months of project work,
all work processes were studied in detail, all improvement opportunities
were evaluated and Turkey's most modern, and technology oriented
distribution facility was built concurrently.
By consolidating Carsi store supply strategies according to the
product groups as "cross-dock", "flow thru"
and "replenishment" strategies, EKOL achieved inventory
minimization and delivery efficiency.Interfaces have been built
between EKOL and Carsi softwares which have different infrastructures
running independently and a data processing structure has been established
enabling both parties to monitor all processes, create work orders
and report the results simultaneously.Thanks to this system, anydata
Carsi keys in to the software can be utilized for generating work
orders to EKOL.With processes optimization, handling automation,
efficient use of spaces and electronic data structure, Carsi has
started to take advantage of the most modern logistic outsourcing
project by 2002.
