The European Union is becoming increasingly borderless. The
distribution of goods no longer needs to be considered on a country-by country
basis. Stock can be stored centrally but satellite warehouse are required to help
achieve short lead times for cities at the extremities of the continent.
Nippon Express's warehouse management system, 'REWARDS', is capable of controlling
stock across all our warehouses throughout Europe. REWARDS not only efficiently
manages warehouse operations locally but also has added functionality to aid the
distribution of stock over many warehouses. For example, 'Warehouse Auto Replenishment'
maintains stock levels in satellite warehouses from a central warehouse to ensure
that popular stock is always available where it is needed.
By combining Nippon Express's information technology, capability and European
transportation capacity, many leading companies were able to establish a central
warehouse and stock points in surrounding countries and take advantage of this
borderless market.
