Furniture / DIY

The supply chain of a furniture and/or decoration company is subject to numerous constraints that ACSEP knows perfectly well. ACSEP supports Vente-unique.com, Tikamoon, Leroy Merlin, Leisure’n’Pleasure, JJA and Conforama in the continuous improvement of their logistics organisation.

As a manufacturer or distributor of furniture and decorative objects, you deal with particularly heterogeneous products, both in terms of size, weight and face value. You may also have to deal with individual pieces that, when put together, form a batch, such as a table with 4 legs and a top, or a cupboard with sides, shelves, screws, doors and handles.

It is essential to think about the mapping of the warehouse in order to optimise the storage of products according to their type and rotation. It is also necessary to choose the right equipment to be able to make them available in the best possible way: racks, mass storage, out-of-gauge storage, storage of small parts, mezzanine floors, etc., with the ultimate objective of reducing the order preparation cycle.

It is also a question of rethinking the layout of the workshops because you may have to offer kitting or pre-assembly, manage returns, after-sales service or even the compulsory take-back and recycling of old products from the customer, etc.

Our teams are familiar with these issues and can help you to organise your stock, flows and workshops, as well as your choice of equipment, whether it be racks, mechanisation or information systems such as warehouse management software or WMS.

With their dual business and IT expertise, our teams can help you choose your WMS (warehouse management system). Depending on your current and future needs, we will guide you towards the most suitable solution.

For example, we have deployed Reflex WMS within the logistics platform of Vente-Unique.com, and have installed our IzyPro WMS on the sites of Tikamoon, an e-tailer specialising in solid wood furniture, and Leisure’n’Pleasure, a company specialising in the creation, manufacture and marketing of equipment and furniture for events,

Our one and only objective is to set up an efficient supply chain for your teams and your customers.
