WARE UK, a wholesaler of cleaning and catering supplies, will equip its new facility in Knowsley, northern England, with Mecalux’s Easy WMS warehouse management system. The project supports the company’s distribution and e-commerce strategy while ensuring its operations can scale in line with strong business growth in the Liverpool area.
“We need to guarantee traceability for our SKUs, which include janitorial, tableware, glassware, and packaging solutions. With Easy WMS, we’ll gain complete stock visibility, allowing us to control inventory with greater accuracy,” says Jon Crossfield, Operations Manager at WARE UK.
The Mecalux solution will track all goods movements. Every day, 10 to 12 lorries deliver merchandise that Easy WMS will classify by product family. Part of the inbound volume will be cross-docked — moved directly to dispatch without being stored — which will reduce handling times and support faster delivery to clients.
Easy WMS will also optimize one of the company’s most demanding tasks: picking. “We fulfill multiple van loads of orders a day for the hospitality and facilities management sectors,” says Crossfield. To speed up shipping, the software will integrate with WARE UK’s transportation management system, which automatically assigns carriers based on destination.
WARE UK will also implement the Labor Management System module, an Easy WMS extension that analyzes warehouse performance. This tool will help the company plan resources more effectively, balance workloads, and improve overall logistics efficiency. Deploying Easy WMS underscores WARE UK’s commitment to technological innovation and continuous improvement across its supply chain.
