Customized services for the marketing of your products
Rethink Your Processes for Maximum Efficiency
For most retailers, storage and warehousing issues are both inhibiting and costly to their business. Warehousing poses visibility and management challenges. The majority of the available solutions can also cause problems with inventory turnover and can lead to lost sales when not optimally configured. What’s more, personnel are often underqualified, handling carts are out-of-date and management processes have not been updated in the last 20 years. Each and every stage, from delivery to stocking shelves, can cause significant losses of time and money for any retailer.

A cost-effective approach to warehousing and inventory management
Rather than regarding the receipt of merchandise, warehousing, and stocking shelves as separate steps, Drakkar International uses a streamlined and fluid process for moving inventory. Based on the idea of One-Stop Maintenance, merchandise is stocked on mobile storage cart and shelves are restocked zone-by-zone, instead of exception-by-exception. This new approach aims to better manage those “final 100 meters” of the merchandise process through the use of the very latest retail unit management system. In-depth studies prove time savings and increased sales make this system profitable within a few short months.
Drakkar possesses vast expertise in marketing and management and consistently improved its approach by working closely with retailers for over a decade.
A Three-Step Process for Your Final 100 Meters
To optimize product handling processes from their arrival to their placement on shelves and ready to sell, an easy three-step process can fluidly circulate products, from reception (in boxes or by container), to existing inventory (storage) and on the shelves (in view).
RECEPTION
