•Case Study: Right Item, Right Place, Right Recipient

By Intermec Technologies Corporation

Puma, one of the world's premier sporting goods brands, is increasing the efficiency of its central Scandinavian warehouse and Intermec handheld computers have played a key role in the process of switching from paper-based to automatic warehouse management. The result is outstanding and today deliveries are now 99 per cent accurate.

Puma's Scandinavian central warehouse is located in Helsingborg in southern Sweden. Over 18,000 sports items are stored in 12,000 square metres. With approximately 70 employees and two work shifts, the warehouse dispatches approximately 30,000 items a day. The items are shipped directly to retailers around Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Baltic states.

Puma's new warehouse management is completely automated. Picking of incoming and outgoing deliveries and inventory are conducted using barcodes and handheld computers synched with a wireless network via a central server. The result of the changeover from paper to paperless has been extremely positive for all employees. Today 99 per cent of deliveries are correct.
