Optimising Unit Picking for Efficient Omnichannel Operations

Imagine a brand that operates on several fronts, between e-commerce and traditional channels, selling cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages. This is none other than Perufarma, an omnichannel distribution centre that chose Modula to manage order preparation and meet the growing challenges of throughput, efficiency and accuracy required by a competitive market.

The key to Perufarma’s success lies in its focus on unit picking: a vital and complex activity that Modula has radically transformed. Thanks to the implementation of Modula solutions, a single operator is able to manage picking processes in a centralised manner, without the need to constantly move around the warehouse.

Unprecedented efficiency

Automating operations was a strategic and inevitable choice for Perufarma. In a market where customers expect ever-faster delivery times and an impeccable level of service, increasing productivity up to four times was the only way to remain competitive.
Modula has not only accelerated picking, but also significantly reduced the margin of error, improving the experience of the end customer. The integration of the Put to Light system has further simplified operations, guiding the operator at every phase with light signals indicating exactly where to place the materials that have been picked up.

Optimised inventory management

Inventory management, a critical issue for an omnichannel distribution centre like Perufarma, was significantly improved. During refill tasks, Modula proves to be just as efficient, resulting in incredible time savings compared to traditional solutions.

State-of-the-art technology for error-free operations

Modula brings together several advanced features to ensure accuracy and transparency:

  • Alphanumeric Bar and Copilot provide detailed instructions and show codes and locations, requiring only confirmation of the operation.
  • Laser Pointer, which visually guides the operator to the exact picking position, eliminating any margin of uncertainty.
  • Modula WMS, a centralised software application that effortlessly manages the three 8100 mm high Modula ML50D units, providing complete supervision of orders and tracking of operations.

The results

Thanks to Modula, Perufarma has achieved a new standard of efficiency at its distribution centre.
Automation and streamlined processes have improved productivity, throughput and accuracy, ensuring impeccable customer service and positioning the company as an industry leader.
Perufarma is not only an example of adapting to market requirements, but represents a success story in terms of the digital transformation of logistics.
