Meet with Blue Yonder
Event
CCU Chilé has been able to maintain high customer service levels while managing a 30% increase in order volume. While many businesses would have added new personnel and new space to accommodate a 30% increase, CCU was able to maintain its previous resource investments and is currently utilizing more than 95% of its Curauma DC. Thanks to the new warehouse management capabilities, the company can focus on leveraging its resources to meet their customers’ needs and deliver products in the most efficient manner.
Optimizing resources
As part of the implementation, CCU sought to maximize resource optimization in the facility. In order to maintain or improve its delivery speed while supporting the increased volume of business that flows through the Curauma warehouse, the company needed to ensure it was getting the most out of its people and processes.
Expansion
The implementation of warehouse management at the Curauma facility has proven so successful that CCU is now rolling the solution out to other DCs. “Currently, we are implementing the solution in all of our facilities in Chilé and Argentina and anticipate having all of the information from the DCs available online.”
Solution benefits
Managed a 30% increasein order volume with existing facilities and personnel. Achieved a utilization rate of 95% in their main DC in Curauma. Increased control over all DC functions and gained visibility to all stock across the facility, soon to include stock across all facilities. Optimized investments in people, space and other resources.
Blue Yonder’s expertise
CCU chose Blue Yonder because of its proven expertise and success in South America. “We were able to talk to some of Blue Yonder’s customers and learn about their experiences before we implemented the solution in our own operations. We realized that Blue Yonder has a lot of expertise in our industry and understands supply chain problems at a very deep level.”
CCU relied on both Blue Yonder and its partner, STG Chilé, to deliver education and training services during the implementation. “Educating and training our employees represented a core component of the software implementation.”
“Blue Yonder is now a strategic partner to our business. We want to keep improving in our use of the solution, and Blue Yonder is right there to help.”
