Franzéns Textil in Kinna, with brands such as Borganäs of Sweden and Fritz Magnus, is investing in a new logistics and integration solution from Connect Companies. The investment will create faster and safer flows, better traceability and at the same time give Franzéns a flexible solution that can develop in line with the business.
The background to the initiative is Franzéns Textil’s need for a more flexible and future-proof solution that can meet changing demands, not least in e-commerce. An important part is also to create better traceability throughout the entire supply chain and reduce the need for manual handling.
The new solution, CC-Logistics, connects the entire flow from order placement, warehouse management and picking to transport and delivery. It includes, among other things, CAIE and WMS, Blue Integrator and Blue TA. With modern technology for barcode management, warehousing, batch receipt and picking management are made more efficient. Blue Integrator is used to automate the transfer of information between different systems, while Blue TA manages the transport flow, integration with carriers and provides greater flexibility in the choice of transport solution.
At Franzéns, CC-Logistics includes:
- Blue Integrator
- Blue TA
- CAIE
- WMS
- integration with carriers
- dropshipment management
- integration with clients for dropshipment
- integration with the Pyramid business system
The ambition is to shorten the processing time from order to delivery while simultaneously creating safer flows, better traceability and more cost-effective handling.
– Logistics is a central part of our offering and an area where we see great opportunities for development. With the new solution, we can digitalize and simplify picking and automate significantly more of the order flow, including reporting back to customers and suppliers. At the same time, we get the flexibility and traceability we need to continue developing together with our customers, says Fredrik Mårtensson, IT manager at Franzéns Textil.
For Connect Companies, the assignment involves a project where integration, warehouse management and transport administration are combined into a coherent solution.
– Franzéns is a very exciting company to work with. They have a strong brand, complex logistics and high demands on integration, but also a clear picture of how IT should support the business. It is very close to our own way of working. Our task will be to create a solution that works for today’s needs but also gives Franzéns the opportunity to continue developing its flows over time. This is also proof that we have a well-proven and effective model for introducing this type of solution, says Stefan Jörkander, CEO of Connect Companies.
