Drastically shorter running times

The search for a new warehouse ended in an existing 8,000 square meter building in Almere, Netherlands. There, Greetz created a sophisticated and particularly efficient system with the help of SSI SCHAEFER. Sabine Huijskes: "We first mapped all processes. How do the employees and goods move through the operation? And what is the most logical layout? We wrote our ideas on Post-its and stuck them on a large sheet. Of these, 95 percent were put into practice, which above all drastically reduced the running times between the various departments and machines."

SSI SCHAEFER had also already supplied the racks for the Amsterdam warehouse and was therefore no stranger to Greetz. Nevertheless, Sander Jelgerhuis Swildens and Sabine Huijskes decided to launch a new tender for the new warehouse layout, after which SSI SCHAEFER was again awarded the contract. "Of course, this has to do with pricing, the quality of the storage systems and the way the bid was worked out. But the most important difference is SSI SCHAEFER's ability to think along with us about the layout of the warehouse. This involved, for example, the arrangement of the shelving or the height and load capacity of the pallet racking systems. The fact that we already had good experience with products from SSI SCHAEFER products did the rest."
