Arctic Import has experienced significant growth in recent years and has taken several initiatives to keep up with this progress. The company is transitioning from an ERP-driven warehouse to a dedicated WMS solution, to optimize inventory management and reduce complexity. The choice fell on LOGIA WMS, which will now ensure efficient processes at its upcoming logistics center in Nuuk and the existing warehouse in Torshavn.
High demand for efficient warehouse management
Arctic Import is a wholesale company that supplies groceries to grocers, restaurants, ships, and various products to public and private organizations. With over 400,000 unique products and partnerships with approximately 400 suppliers, efficient inventory management is crucial.
The solution will first be implemented at the current warehouse, followed by the new 1,250 m² logistics center in Nuuk, which will accommodate 1,200 additional pallet spaces. LOGIA WMS will manage all processes from goods receipt to shipping and ensure efficient operations across the storage areas for refrigerated, frozen, and dry goods. Arctic Import has also invested in a vertical storage lift and a narrow-aisle truck, which will also be controlled by LOGIA WMS. The combination of warehouse management and automation will increase efficiency and optimize the utilization of storage space.
WMS unleashes the full potential of the warehouse
The shift from an ERP-driven warehouse to a specialized warehouse management system enables Arctic Import to optimize its warehouses and achieve even better results.
With LOGIA WMS, the company can, for example, perform picking during the receipt of the goods and minimize the number of warehouse handlings. The system's batch-picking function enables simultaneous picking for multiple orders, and the solution automatically prioritizes orders based on warehouse distribution routes, including pick-up times and delivery destinations. With FEFO date management (First Expired, First Out), the WMS ensures that items with the nearest expiration dates are always picked first from the wholesale warehouse.
Arctic Import will go live with LOGIA WMS in the summer of 2025.
