Pharmaceutical wholesaler had classic ATP problems: purchase orders and inventory not
displayed in real time. Customer service and field service could not provide pharmacies with
reliable information on stock availability. Solution: Real-time ATP is set up for the customer
via CargoWise and web interface in the 3PL ? order entry and inventory query directly via
the web interface.
The result: increased transparency and reliable ATP information for sales representatives
and pharmacies. Improve customer service.
Vacancy after GF departure in the Australian subsidiary of a listed South African logistics
group. Background: After the Corona high-margin phase, freight rates collapsed -
profitability fell sharply, team spirit at an all-time low, customer complaints and recourse
claims. At the same time: recently acquired customs broker not yet integrated. Measures:
Stabilisation of team and customer base; One-on-one meetings with key customers;
Contract adjustments; IT harmonisation (CargoWise as an operational platform; global data
lake Snowflake for corporate reporting); Integration of customs broker into ICS (Australian
customs system); Opening of Melbourne branch; active acquisition of new customers.
Result: Operational turnaround in 12 months. Return to profitable growth. Global Data
Lake (Snowflake) implemented. Customs broker fully integrated. Melbourne branch
opened.
Logwin migrated all warehouse management systems within the group to CargoWise.
Project management of the Australian sub-project: conceptual design, data migration, test
phase, go-live coordination with the Logwin global team.
Result: Successful go-live without operational interruption. Australian sub-project
completed on schedule.
The customer had high personnel costs for temporary staff that were difficult to plan due to
high parcel volume fluctuations in the sorting centers. Using the AI platform Paretos
(Hanover) - created as part of the PhD thesis - conception and implementation of a predictive
decision-making tool for the 48-hour prediction of parcel volumes per parcel center.
Methods: Isolation of influencing factors, data analysis, model training (3 months), backtest
(6 weeks), DACH-wide rollout. Platform automatically selects optimal algorithms.
Result: Reduction of personnel costs for temporary work by 25%. DACH-wide rollout of
the decision-making tool completed.
Global manufacturer of food packaging solutions with 5 internal production sites and more
than 50 external manufacturing plants. Complex supply chain with high inventories, obsolete
inventory and inefficient transport processes. Measures: Development of a new supply chain
strategy based on a 3PL cross-dock solution. Full project management of ERP integration
(customer ERP (SAP), ? 3PL goods management system). Handover and commissioning
to 3PL partners.
Result: 35% reduction in inventories. Improved route planning and transport cost
reduction. Increased delivery reliability. Full ERP integration during ongoing operations.
Full implementation of Philips household appliances as new customers: warehouse
processes, system integration, interface development to Philips Australia and Philips
Netherlands. Introduction and national rollout of Infor SCM10 as the new WMS. Innovation:
Lean Pick-and-Pack ? freight label printing directly at the picking station, without intermediate
processes.
Result: Philips successfully implemented. Infor SCM10 rolled out at the site.
Feasibility study for the development of contract logistics in Australia for Logwin (financial
analysis, NPV 10 years, customer potential analysis, real estate and equipment planning) -
Presentation to the Logwin Management Board in Aschaffenburg - green light. Result:
