X-KOM, one of the most popular Omni-channel retailers in Poland, relies on Mantis solutions to optimize its logistics e-fulfillment operations
X-KOM, one of the most popular Omni-channel retailers in Poland, relies on Mantis solutions to optimize its logistics e-fulfillment operations
X-KOM
is one of the most popular Polish omni-channel retailers and one of the top sellers of computers and accessories and other electronic goods, operating in Poland since year 2002.
X-KOM is operating both through internet (e-commerce) and several retail stores across the whole country. The company supports its logistics operations through a number of warehouses while at the same time provides its affiliated companies of the group with 3rd party logistics services.
The increasing number of orders and the need to improve the efficiency of its warehousing operations was for X-KOM the most important reason for its decision to implement an advanced Warehouse Management System (WMS).
The requirements for such implementation were quite sophisticated. The solution to be selected should be able to cover the needs of the existing manual warehouses as well as future plans for the introduction of material handling automation. Furthermore the solution should be able to support multiple depositors in an Omni-channel environment.
In order to fulfil its requirements, X-KOM selected and implemented the WMS solution of Mantis' leading Logistics Vision Suite.
The result was a 30% increase in order processing productivity. This was achieved by adapting Mantis' solution to support the reengineering of certain critical warehousing processes as well as the optimal use of storage space and the improvement of the warehousing workflow.
The solution allows X-KOM to reduce its logistics operation costs while at the same time improving its customer service level.
Following this successful project, Mantis is now a key participant in X-KOM's endeavor to further automating and optimizing its warehousing and distribution operations.
"The collaboration with a logistics software supplier requires a long-term commitment. The most important criterion in selecting such supplier is that he will understand and support customer's requirements and business processes not only during the initial implementation phase but also after it by continuously adapting the solution to the always evolving customer needs. For a dynamic and fast-growing company like X-KOM the continuous re-engineering of its logistics processes is the key to success. This was the main reason we decided to go with Mantis."

A well-organized parking area for 30 heavy trucks equipped with electronic scales for heavy vehicles complements the warehouse.
In order to efficiently manage its warehousing resources and employees throughout all major warehousing inbound, outbound and e-commerce activities, the company selected Mantis' Logistics Vision Suite (LVS). The project was implemented in 2014 by the WMS / logistics specialists of ant Technologies, a leading logistics turn-key solutions provider and Mantis' partner in the region. LVS was selected among several other local and international systems due to its outstanding flexibility that allows Mantis' partners or even the customers themselves to configure and adapt the system to meet their sophisticated and continuously evolving needs.
The recent implementation of an advanced e-fulfillment platform based on Mantis' LVS allows NarvaLogistics to support the e-Commerce activities of its customers.

LVS was adapted to support all e–Commerce activities:
- Good labeling, put-away, picking, checking and packing at a piece level.
- Optimization of the put-away and picking processes.
- Processing of the returns from the branches.
The result of this project is the reduction of the time required to process the online orders and the increase of the customer service.
Among the plans for the near future, is to install equipment that automates and facilitates the measuring of the weight and dimensional characteristics of the goods and the implementation of workstations for product labeling.
"Today we are focused on the formation of the most effective organization of the processes of accounting, control and warehouse management. After analyzing the presented solutions in the market, we chose Logistics Vision Suite, an international system offering broad functionality and the ability to customize the system to individual needs. The extended experience and now-how of ant Technologies' specialists were also critical factors in choosing the solution".
