Les Grands Chais de France (LGCF) inks international supply chain network deal with Körber
LGCF, a French wine exporting company, is tapping Körber technology to boost performance at its logistics sites.
Active in 178 countries for a turnover of 1.3 billion euros in 2022, LGCF is modernising its supply chain processes through the implementation of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for all of its 14 sites and a Warehouse Contol System (WCS) for the automated sites at Petersbach (Alsace) and Landiras (Bordeaux).
Adding to that, the company is also planning to introduce voice and gamification.
“Commerce has been unpredictable the last three years, and yet customer expectations and the demand for performance remain high,” comments Ottavio Rivelli, SVP Sales & Operations Software South Europe at Körber Business Area Supply Chain.
“Organisations must have technology that provides the agility and flexibility to adapt and respond to the market in consumer oriented ways. We are therefore excited to accelerate the performance of LGCF’s national supply chain network – and help them bring their fulfilment strategy to the next level.”
“As the global modernisation of our supply chain processes is a major project, we look forward to partnering with Körber for several reasons,” says Eric Marseglia, Head of Industrial IT & Logistics LGCF.
"On the one hand, we are anticipating a thoroughly planned transition without interruption for our business. On the other hand, we aim higher than mere collaboration by building a strong long-term partnership for the strategic decisions to be made.”
“Another benefit lies in the system architecture to be built, ensuring that integrated workflows will guarantee continuity in the production chain; i.e. total 24/7 system availability - for the sake of our customers.”
The project is expected to start in June 2024 with the installation of four sites by Körber, the remaining ten will be handled by GCF.
The overall modernisation initiative is set to be completed before the end of the first half of 2026.
