Warehouse operations running like clockwork – with Warehouse Management System
Gasser GmbH was founded in 1989 as a service provider for foundries. The company quickly developed a high level of expertise, specialising in the development, quality control and repair of cast parts. Gasser primarily operates within vehicle construction at its sites in Pfaffenhofen and Steyr.
Implementing high quality with ease and speed
Gasser was seeking quality and precision within its warehouse operations when it asked us to introduce a Warehouse Management System (WMS) at its Steyr warehouse with 3000 storage locations. We consistently focussed on optimising processes and boosting efficiency. The company required precise overviews of stock and qualitative assessments as a basis for invoicing for warehouse services. We sought to provide a quick and easy solution that achieved the following: A higher level of process reliability, stock management at storage-location level with quantity precision, improved traceability and fewer inventory discrepancies.
Faultless warehouse management in real time
To realise all the requirements for the optimisation and modernisation of the warehouse, Gasser GmbH opted for our WMS Series 2 software. Hand-held terminals ensure that the optimisation potential offered by the WMS is reached in full. We also took on labelling for the warehouse locations. This intelligent overall solution enables reliable, transparent and efficient warehouse management plus evaluation of stock movements and time in storage.
The best equipment for outstanding work
"As it became apparent just how much easier and better our warehouse management could be with software support, we quickly decided to go for a solution from Jungheinrich", says director Konrad Gasser. "From the outset, the WMS Series 2 was the optimum solution for us as it is simple, attractively priced, implemented within weeks and can meet our individual requirements", he explains.
