Professional organisation

SSI SCHAEFER not only supplied shelving, but also a handrail lock and a mezzanine. The railing sluice was installed to safely transport the goods to the mezzanine floor. The access stairs replaced an old, steep staircase that no longer met safety requirements. By creating a staircase with an extra large landing, the exit below the staircase can also be used without problems.

Greetz is satisfied with the progress of the project. The assembly of the racks went smoothly. "The cooperation with the employees of SSI SCHAEFER is simply very pleasant. We can always call if we have a question and get an answer quickly," says Sabine Huijskes. Sander Jelgerhuis Swildens adds: "It is good that SSI SCHAEFER is a large company with decades of experience. In today's world, the availability of materials is sometimes a challenge, putting pressure on delivery times. In this case, it depends on how this is communicated and how any problems are solved. And we are very satisfied with that."

20% higher productivity

Thanks in part to the efficient warehouse layout, the productivity of the 50 employees in the order processing area has been increased by around 20%. The number of cartons that can be processed per person per hour is significantly higher in the new warehouse. "This is largely due to the new warehouse concept, but also to the improved overview of the processes," says Sander Jelgerhuis Swildens. "We used to finish our order processing for next-day delivery at half past midnight with a lot of effort. Today, we can extend the order entry for next-day orders for customers from 10 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and finish them before midnight. That's another 30 minutes of additional service we can offer our customers."

Meanwhile, Greetz is already thinking about new innovations. For example, the company has moved to a new platform that offers more options for data analysis and consumer advice. In addition, Sabine Huijskes continues to focus on optimizing processes. Sabine Huijskes: "We never get up without ideas. We are constantly working on improving efficiency, quality and the product portfolio. Together with the sales team, we want to develop a new strategy based on all these ideas. In doing so, we constantly ask ourselves how we can remain individual and attractive to our customers."
