Axfood sought a new, latest generation warehouse execution solution (WES) capable of enabling a consistent, high performance way of working across all their sites. Accordingly, Axfood selected ZetesMedea as their unified WES for all warehouses.
Ensuring that productivity, accuracy and uptime are fully maximised, Axfood was convinced that ZetesMedea, from their long-term partner Zetes, represented the best-fit solution. It will support the retailer in achieving maximum operational efficiency by fully optimising the workflow processes for order assembly and shipment without any re-engineering of their legacy SAP warehouse management system (WMS).
The solution’s advanced voice recognition system supports multi-lingual workforces, making onboarding easier for non-native speakers and eradicating the need for costly training. Using a speaker independent voice system significantly helps increase workforce and warehouse process efficiency, especially those facing labour challenges related to high staff turnover or seasonal hiring practices. Currently operating with 500 pickers which is targeted to double within the next years, ZetesMedea will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of Axfood warehouse operations.
ZetesMedea, a modular WES platform, offers the widest possible choice of functionality, flexibility and integration capability to facilitate technologies such as voice directed working, real time data capture and data visibility. With its flexible architecture, it allows scalability and agility to address any warehouses processes, so that Axfood is able to quickly expand the solution to new sites and teams of warehouse operators, in line with demand and business growth.
”For almost decade, our partnership with Zetes has allowed us to increase efficiency and reduce cost along the entire supply chain. We are once again very happy with the solution proposed and the levels of service and support delivered”, Lenny Eriksson, System Manager at Axfood.
