MP Logistik Rheine is investing in a new branch in Emsbüren to meet the growing demand for storage capacity and increasingly sophisticated services. The new building will be completed within a very short space of time, as will the implementation of pL-Store®, the Warehouse Management System (WMS) from proLogistik. As a 3PL provider, MP Logistik specializes in warehousing services, especially in the heavy and large load sector, express logistics, part and full loads as well as sea and air freight and offers full services from a single source. Integrated into a strong partner network, MP Logistik connects its clients’ goods with the rest of the world quickly and reliably around the clock. This company had to offer warehouse management software that was both perfectly suited to the specific requirements of a logistics service provider and at the same time standardized, as well as having the necessary flexibility and manpower for rapid implementation. “With a high-performance warehouse management system, we will be able to meet the associated challenges in the future.”

proLogistik continues to grow in the food retail sector. After a long selection process, the trading company J. Bünting Beteiligungs AG finally chose proLogistik as its new partner for the implementation of a new warehouse management system. With the industry solution pL-Store Foodline, proLogistik is replacing an existing warehouse management system and will also replace the hardware used in warehouse logistics. “We are very pleased that we were able to convince the Bünting Group with our complete package for intralogistics,” says Jörg Sänger, Managing Director at proLogistik GmbH + Co KG. ProLogistik will replace the software used at the three warehouse locations in Nortmoor, Wallenhorst and Salzkotten. “The expertise of the individual employees and the many years of industry know-how convinced us to choose proLogistik as our new solution partner for our system-side realignment of warehouse logistics,” emphasizes Helge-Christian Eilers, Managing Director of Bünting SCM / Logistik GmbH & Co.
The 3PL provider Hartmann International is building another logistics property on the site of the Paderborn Logistics Park. The new 20,000 m² building meets the latest sustainability standards and will be connected to the existing transshipment hall. In future, the processes upstream of goods distribution at both locations will be controlled by the WMS pL-Store® from proLogistik. In Paderborn, Hartmann International is responsible for handling logistics services for a growing number of clients from sectors such as food, industrial, healthcare and consumer as well as for start-ups. Various storage techniques such as narrow and wide aisle racking are currently used for stocking. Due to the recent massive disruptions in global supply chains, European companies are increasingly opting to stock goods close to their own production sites, which is leading to further demand for logistics space. We will strengthen this commitment even further with the new location. The standardized Warehouse Management System from proLogistik, with its comprehensive range of functions, will provide valuable assistance, as optimized processes will not only speed up order processing overall and make it more efficient.
BAUSTOFF UNION NÜRNBERG relied on the expertise of proLogistik for the introduction of a warehouse management system (WMS). The implemented industry solution pL-Store® Techline from the intralogistics system house is part of a self-imposed digital agenda that the building materials retailer is implementing step by step. For logistics processing, this primarily means: increased stock reliability, reduced susceptibility to errors, end-to-end transparency and improved monitoring. At the same time, it is now much easier to instruct employees. With the final commissioning of the warehouse management system (WMS) pL-Store® Techline in 2019, BAUSTOFF UNION NÜRNBERG has practically fulfilled a wish for its milestone birthday and 50th anniversary. Like OBI-Baumärkte Franken and Regnitztal, the company is part of BU-Holding, which has already won the “Bavaria’s Best 50” award twice. The product range of this sales partner to the building materials industry comprises more than 25,000 products that are used in building construction, shell construction and new builds, civil engineering and gardening and landscaping.

The 3PL provider has thus created the prerequisites for fully supporting its customers’ cross-channel supply concepts and also being able to flexibly meet new requirements. At the same time, the course was set to further strengthen the market position gained in a challenging environment.

As part of a pilot project, Fassbender-Tenten initially introduced the standard software pL-Store® Techline from proLogistik at three locations. Shorter order throughput times and an overall improvement in delivery quality quickly followed. In view of these results, the warehouse management and control solution, which is tailored to the specific requirements of the industry, is now to be rolled out gradually to other branches. The company, which is also a partner of the “Bauspargruppe” cooperative, also offers services such as container services, the rental of machinery and equipment, installation support, construction waste disposal as well as training and consulting. More efficient processes on the agenda The product range of the building materials retailer headquartered in Bonn comprises around 59,000 parts, 8,719 of which are actively stocked. Stocking takes place both in the specialist store itself and in adjacent warehouses. There are also pallet and cantilever racks as well as block and bulk storage areas in the outdoor area. Until the new warehouse management software pL-Store Techline from proLogistik went live, order picking was organized conventionally and manually. “Document-based order processing not only involved a great deal of effort, but also proved to be increasingly error-prone and in need of repeated correction … Lire plus

The wholesale company M. Bach GmbH, which specializes in building services, has replaced an existing warehouse management system (WMS) at its central warehouse in Eschweiler with the industry solution pL-Store® Techline. The reason for the change was the desire for increased performance and more flexibility in all functional areas. This was to be achieved on the basis of standardized software. The company also relied on proLogistik when selecting the necessary hardware for mobile data collection. No fully developed business plan, just a motorcycle and the desire to be self-employed – that’s all Matthias Bach needed when he laid the foundation stone for today’s M. Bach GmbH in 1945. The result was a wholesale company for sanitary, heating and installation supplies, which is now one of the most important in the sales region. With a range of more than 250,000 items, the choice is enormous and leaves nothing to be desired. These are located at the headquarters in Eschweiler as well as in Aachen, Mechernich and Pulheim. Agility pays off When asked about the reasons for the company’s continued success, Udo Bach, who today manages the wholesaler together with Michael Bach, remarks with a wink: “The market shows us that it’s … Lire plus
