New european distribution center for more growth and omnichannel fulfillment

In recent years, sales of HARMAN's lifestyle division have increased more than sixfold. This enormous growth has presented the leading audio technology provider with new logistical challenges. Increasing volumes and customer requirements demanded comprehensive supply chain optimizations. The company was therefore looking for a data and process-driven warehouse solution that was robust, scalable and automated. 

It all started with analysis. - we used complex process simulations to determine the perfect business case. Then, we created the required storage capacities at our site in Gennep, the Netherlands, and implemented client-specific storage solutions. We did all this without impacting the ongoing business, and it only took us four months.

With the help of our fulfillment solution, we support HARMAN in achieving their future growth targets. The high scalability of our solution favors the development of new markets. Daily process flows can now be displayed transparently, and order peaks can be handled flexibly. Regular reviews of the engineering processes ensure that HARMAN can invest in further automation technology at an early stage. From Gennep, we serve the high-volume B2B business for retailers as well as the growing B2C business within Europe.
