CEVA Logistics – Case Study
CEVA Logistics is one of the world leaders in the 3PL sector. The company provides global solutions for its customers’ supply chains.
Carrefour is a fast-growing multinational retail and wholesaling corporation, operating a chain of over 12,225 hypermarkets, grocery stores, and convenience stores in more than 30 countries. As of January 2023, Carrefour is the world’s eighth-largest retailer by revenue.
During 2019, Carrefour’s micro-fulfilment center in Reims, France experienced the “good” problem that both excites and scares many fulfillment warehouses: rapid growth. Until then, the facility had operated with a manual picking operation for fulfilling thousands of daily e-Commerce orders for curbside delivery. However, rapid growth and increasing demand for same-day, error-free orders compelled Carrefour to seek an automated solution to improve the facility’s operational performance and capacity while maintaining a high degree of flexibility.
The smooth fulfilment and replenishment of more than 63,000 SKUs during routine as well as a multitude of varying peak periods throughout each year was a top priority. A system that could efficiently utilize their warehouse’s limited space was also important to Carrefour.
