Schwab-Guillod is one of Switzerland's largest fruit and vegetable marketing companies. Its 480 or so employees prepare, pick and distribute a wide range of produce. Now in its third generation, the family company supplies wholesalers, catering businesses, retailers and market traders.
Schwab-Guillod has extensively automated its stock management system. This end-to-end optimisation of planning, ordering, picking and transportation is providing decisive benefits, particularly for customers and partners. Producers and customers now submit their quotations and orders via mobile phones or the Internet. This data is passed to the ERP system in real time for further processing. All incoming goods are automatically checked and electronically picked, then packed and labelled in accordance with individual customer requirements. Integrated fleet management ensures hassle-free just-in-time delivery.
«This solution has enabled us to optimally integrate our partners and increase the quality of our services. What’s more, we can now react very quickly to individual customer requirements.»
