Falk & Ross Group is one of the leading wholesalers of promotional textiles such as T-shirts, jackets, bags, caps, scarves and gloves as well as workwear and sportswear. The company has successfully modernized its pL-Store® warehouse management solution with the aim of making order processing more efficient across the board and taking new market requirements into account. In the long term, it has now been ensured that all customers in the domestic and neighboring markets are supplied quickly and reliably with goods of the desired quality.
Software as a core element of a cross-location strategy
“Comprehensively standardized software for warehouse management and material flow control prevents system disruptions, creates transparency and enables a reliable flow of information,” explains Tobias Brügmann, Head of Logistic Systems at the Falk & Ross Group. “The particular advantage of pL-Store® is that the software already includes a large number of relevant functions for mail order logistics as standard.” This also saves valuable time, as only the required, company-specific WMS modules need to be integrated.
