Leading mobile phone distributor completes successful project

Keymas complete project for a leading mobile phone distributor based in London. The company, who provide logistics and distribution for mobile phone handsets, approached Keymas to work with them on a consultancy basis after making contact via the Keymas website. As one of the fastest growing enterprises in Europe the company needed to address its existing manually operated warehouse to increase efficiency and meet their growing demand.

Developing the new system

Working together with the warehouse management team the new system was designed to reduce despatch overheads by automatically identifying different despatch routes for specific carriers distributing the mobile phone handsets.

The new system prevents sortation error by using a bar code routing system that automatically identifies the distribution route of the product through bar code recognition.

A successful Project

The project was successfully implemented on budget and on time. Working towards a fixed set of outcomes the warehouse has increased its despatch efficiency and reduced its operational costs.

Keymas Managing Director, John Barton reported, “The project utilized a simple bar code routing system which automatically routes product to its pre-set destination. This process utilizes space in the warehouse and reduces costs making the dispatch process more efficient.”
