Omni-channel distribution center
Fnac commissions Ferag in Portugal
Following the successful completion of a first project in Madrid, Ferag and Fnac have confirmed their cooperation and signed a further project agreement. The European market leader for the distribution of entertainment products such as books, recordings, consumer electronics and electrical household appliances will build its new, fully integrated omni-channel distribution center in Lisbon, Portugal, with Ferag. The project start date has been set for April 2023, with commissioning taking place as early as September 2023 - a tight schedule given the challenging global warehouses in terms of delivery times.
Partnership-based implementation
As a system integrator, consultant and innovator in the field of intralogistics, Ferag plans, controls and coordinates the entire warehouse logistics system in Portugal. But the close, personal partnership at eye level is also characteristic of the corporate philosophy of the Swiss family-owned company: Ferag is working hand in hand on the Fnac project with TGW, Modumaq and Sealed Air, among others, as important partners for the realization of the overall system. "Thanks to Ferag's global network, the close, active cooperation with its partners and the correspondingly fast, flexible response capability in all project phases, Ferag was able to convince us right from the bidding phase," says Tiago Figueirôa, Supply Chain Manager at Fnac Portugal.
The trustful cooperation and partnership with the customer as well as the convincing competence as a general contractor were decisive for the Fnac decision: from the initially independent Ferag Denisort system in Madrid to the fully integrated intralogistics solution in Portugal. The Stingray shuttle system from TGW, the conveyor system from Interroll and Modumaq or the fully automated I-Pack packaging system from Sealed Air are just some of the state-of-the-art technologies that significantly increase efficiency and performance in the new Fnac distribution center.
