COMPLEX LOGISTICS RELIABLY HANDLED Distribution logistics | eCommerce | GW pro.line home

LOGISTICS AND GOODS DISTRIBUTION MADE EASY Electrical retailers who are internationally active and supply various branch offices or end customers are increasingly faced with complex logistics processes. Gebrßder Weiss (GW) won over K+B expert with its logistics expertise, delivering goods to over 60 specialist stores every day for the electrical retailer – quickly, reliably, and transparently.

AT A GLANCE:

K+B EXPERT

K+B expert GmbH & Co KG is an electrical retail company based in Cham, Upper Palatinate (DE). The company has 55 shops in the Czech Republic, six branches in Slovakia, eight shops in Germany and an extensive webshop. K+B has over 1,300 employees and generates sales of around 195 million euros per year.

THE CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGE K+B expert has a complex network of locations and partners in Eastern Europe: 55 specialist shops in the Czech Republic and six in Slovakia. All shops must be supplied every day and all orders placed online must be received quickly by the customer.

The challenge: ● Daily delivery of goods to the individual shops ● Coordinating the flow of goods between the branch offices ● Delivering webshop orders to the end customer within 24 hours ● Reliability and speed even in case of special shipments (repaired goods, etc.)

THE SOLUTION

THE SOLUTION GW developed a logistics concept tailored to K+B expert so as to supply the individual shops, partner companies and end customers with utmost precision.

The services at a glance: ● Guaranteed delivery within 24 hours: branch offices are supplied every day between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ● Shipments of at least two metric tons reach the designated recipient in record time with GW direct.line ● Daily departures at defined intervals with GW pro.line ● Delivery to end customers with GW pro.line home

● Track & Trace in real time ● Additional services and individual transports: e.g. repair services, returns

THE BENEFITS

THE BENEFITS Planning security and reliability Regular departures and defined intervals enable a high degree of security and reliability for K+B expert. The branch offices know what they have in stock, along with the status of the delivery, and can make binding statements to their end customers.

Transparency from a single source If all logistics services come from a single source, then processes can be understood easily and in real time. Track & Trace makes delivery papers available online and all information can be accessed at the press of a button.

Useful additional services GW also takes over additional services such as transporting returns, replacing pallets, etc., and invoices the branches directly. This saves time for K+B expert and creates more space for the core business. With GW pro.line home, it is even possible to deliver straight to the end customer.
