Project description

As part of a broader supply chain transformation program, a supply chain management system was implemented for a mail-order and e-commerce company. In parallel, the organization and structure of the quality management function were redesigned, warehouse planning and forecasting processes for B2C fulfillment were optimized, and logistics capabilities for direct-to-consumer operations were expanded.

GCS took on the project management and technical consulting for the customer in defining the processes and subsequent implementation. In addition to simplifying and accelerating the processes, the project achieved a high level of integration between the customer and its international suppliers and service providers, with GCS playing a leading role in multi-project management and supporting the individual measures through to the respective go-live.
