Weber

Weber-Stephen Nordic sell and distribute the popular Weber grills across Scandinavia. At their central warehouse in Nørresundby 40 warehouse staff are kept busy packing and distributing products for use throughout the Nordic region.

The logistics solution which keeps the warehouse wheels turning is NORRIQ Online Warehouse Management System (N-owm). N-owm is fully integrated with ERP system Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 ensuring that all warehouse movements are registered in NAV 5.0 via wireless hand-held terminals the very instant they take place. The entire solution was implemented for Weber-Stephen Nordic by NORRIQ.

Bue Aun from Weber-Stephen Nordic says: ’We send all orders directly to hand-held terminals, that way we know our warehouse staff will pluck the right products. This helps us keep registration errors and delivery errors to an absolute minimum. Plus, using the terminals means that we always have a completely up-to-date picture of exactly what's in the warehouse at any given time, which is a great help to our internal and external sales teams’.

One Warehouse - Four Accounts

The warehouse supplies Denmark, Sweden and Finland, which are all EU countries. It also supplies Norway, and because Norway is a non-EU-country deliveries to Norway are registered in a customs account. N-owm ensures Weber-Stephen Nordic have total control over deliveries and logistics processes. All products are managed from one central account which in turn is fully integrated with four country-specific accounts. The ERP system which manages this complex task is NAV 5.0 with approx. 40 users, tailored to the international company's needs.
