Over the years, the Group’s subsidiaries’ offer has grown to include over 40,000 items held in inventory. In order to meet its service commitments, Qérys Group needed to implement a faster and more efficient fulfillment system that could connect and evolve seamlessly with the existing organization. Despite the logistical challenges posed by the pandemic, Exotec installed a Skypod system and a conveyor network without causing any production interruptions.
