Starting in 2014, BLG Handelslogistik GmbH & Co. KG will also take over the logistics for the Tchibo online business. In order to do this, comprehensive investments to extend the current facilities are necessary. An automatic small parts warehouse, a sorting building and new conveyor bridges for connecting the buildings will be constructed. In addition, investments will be made in the information technologies area. As is already the case in the distribution for northern and western German sales points, inconsoWMS will also be the cornerstone for controlling the logistics of Tchibo.
Already since 2003, BLG operates a European central warehouse in Bremen for Tchibo. The high bay warehouse complex in the Neustädter harbor offers space for 200,000 pallet locations. All processes in the warehouse and distribution center are managed and monitored by inconsoWMS. As a high availability, highly flexible and open system, it controls the available resources and helps to use the operative personnel in a transparent and effective way. inconso AG, as a general contractor for both the software and the IT technology, planned, delivered and implemented the complete IT hardware from server clusters to terminals, MDTs and RFID and the entire cabling in the existing warehouses.
