LVMH Parfums & Cosmétiques, who has worked with a-SIS for many years, has just renewed its confidence in the French editor by entrusting it with the realisation of the dedicated WMS at its logistic platform in Shanghai (China).
LVMH Parfums & Cosmétiques distributes prestigious brands such as Parfums Christian Dior, Guerlain, Benefit, Make Up For Ever, Parfums Givenchy, Kenzo Parfums the World over. These brands are enjoying increasing success in China, the Group decided to implement a WMS (Warehouse Management System) at its logistic platform in Shanghai. It will replace the old logistic management system which no longer fulfilled their requirements. Having consulted several editors in the market, they have chosen a-SiS’ Magistor® software package.
Already present in the LVMH Group in France with the LM7 solution (site in Saint Jean de Braye for Dior) and in the United States with the WCS solution (site in Cranbury for LVMH P&C), this new success complements the range of products installed for the Group.
The Chinese warehouse has a surface area of 5 000 m2 and is located in Shanghai; it receives over 8 000 references from factories and the APAC logistic platform located in Singapore. It then dispatches 1 500 to 2 000 orders a month (500 boxes a day on average) to Chinese sales outlets. The implementation of Magistor and preparation assistance tools (radio terminals in particular) should generally allow the luxury goods giant to support the Group’s constant growth in China and Asia.
According to LVMH, « Magistor will enable us to respond to the significant increase in volumes in China whilst improving the quality of the service perceived by our customers. The tool’s flexibility, its cost and a-SiS’ teams’ experience and efficiency were determining factors in us choosing Magistor»
In the end, Magistor should be set up at different sites in Asia which belong to the Group. After China, studies are underway to deploy the solution in the following countries: Singapore, Korea, Australia, Taiwan and Hong-Kong.
