Sarkany has integrated Mecalux’s Easy WMS warehouse management system in its Buenos Aires logistics center to optimize the supply of its three sales channels: retail, e-commerce, and wholesale.
“We were looking for a flexible and scalable software solution that would enable us to oversee our three sales channels efficiently from a single platform. We wanted to gain full control over stored SKUs and elevate the level of service we provide to our customers in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Miami,” says Sarkany’s Operations Manager.
Digitalization has optimized several areas of Sarkany’s logistics processes, particularly inventory control, where recorded discrepancies have decreased by 50%. “Before implementing Easy WMS, our logistics operations lacked inventory traceability and visibility. We’d been running everything with the company’s ERP software, which had its limitations for such a critical area.”
The fashion brand has also seen significant advancements in order processing. It can now ship 34.6% increase more products than before. “Picking is faster and more organized, and we have full control over the order flow across all our sales channels. This has optimized our operations and improved customer service,” says the Operations Manager.
Streamlined omnichannel logistics operations
Most of Sarkany’s physical stores are in the province of Buenos Aires, but its wholesale customers are located throughout the rest of the country. This model requires efficient, well-organized logistics processes that meet the needs of all its channels, including e-commerce.
Easy WMS manages all of Sarkany’s logistics operations, from order receipt to shipment. “As a fashion company, we operate in seasonal sales cycles, which means a high daily turnover of suppliers. With the help of Easy WMS, we handle goods receipt, perform cross-docking, store products in picking area, and process orders without issues. Then, the warehouse pickers fill orders, and the packaging and loading team completes the process,” says the Operations Manager.
Mecalux’s Easy WMS also supervises the locations of the stored SKUs. “Our warehouse is organized by product categories. Footwear is stored on the first floor, while clothing, bags, premium accessories, and outlet inventory are kept on the second. On the upper levels of the racking, we house pallets with footwear to replenish the picking area,” says the Operations Manager.
Regarding the orders fulfilled and shipped daily, the company says: “We receive picking orders through the connection between our ERP and order management system. The average number of lines per order varies depending on the sales channel. For online orders, it’s 1.4, while retail and wholesale channels average 18.7 lines.”
Order packaging and labeling
Multi-Carrier Shipping Software organizes packing and labeling to streamline order distribution. This Easy WMS capability optimizes shipments by integrating with delivery agencies, providing them with the necessary documentation. “The module has been key in ensuring the traceability of each order and its contents, which wasn’t possible before. We now coordinate with SHIPNOW, the agency responsible for distributing our online orders, to manage package codes and tracking numbers.”
Technology at the service of customer satisfaction
“Easy WMS has given us complete inventory visibility, better organization of outbound orders, and greater flexibility to manage goods across the different sales channels. It’s optimized our operations considerably,” says the Operations Manager.
Thanks to Mecalux’s software, Sarkany’s warehouse can now easily adapt to market demand and continue offering high-quality service to customers purchasing its footwear.
Picking is faster and more organized, and we have full control over the order flow across all our sales channels.
