@logistics Reply supports IVECO Defence Vehicles (IVECO DV), market leading manufacturer of defence and civil protection vehicles (trucks, armoured vehicles, protected and multipurpose vehicles), with its logistics management. A SideUp Reply™ solution has been introduced for the management of the military replacement parts warehouse in Bolzano, replacing the custom system previously used. Accessible via the Web, SideUp Reply™ allows for real-time monitoring and management of inventories from both the Bolzano site and from parts warehouses located abroad. Deployment of the system also allows the company to verify the status of orders and to manage the applicable ministerial authorisations; speeding up all activities associated with the shipping of goods.
IVECO Defence Vehicles (IVECO DV), market leading manufacturer of defence and civil protection vehicles (trucks, armoured vehicles, protected and multipurpose vehicles), forms part of the IVECO group. Located in Bolzano, IVECO Defence Vehicles’ manufacturing site was previously home of the prestigious producer of military and special vehicles, Lancia, established in 1937. With an international sales force and a network of service centres, the company enjoys global presence on both a technical and commercial level. All Company skills are concentrated at the Bolzano site, which come together successfully to form IVECO Defence Vehicles. Present: a research and development centre dedicated to defence and civil protection vehicles with specialist IVECO skills focusing on the various product segment, a sales and marketing department, an aftersales service, a production site specialising in protected and multipurpose vehicles, and a replacement parts warehouse, which supplies the various military consumers.
At the replacement parts warehouse in Bolzano, all parts destined for direct clients, both in Italy and abroad, are received, stored and shipped. Incoming goods are identified and stored in the various zones within the warehouse until client orders are received. In order to maximise the levels of service and optimise parts management, IVECO DV made the decision to adopt a market WMS solution for the Bolzano site. The Company’s needs were twofold: the management of warehouse inventories for locations outside of Italy, monitoring the available stock and the returns via a realtime system also accessible to managers of these foreign warehouses. The second need, a need for a system that enabled the Company not only to manage routine stock operations, but also to check the status of orders.
IVECO DV chose SideUp Reply™, the warehouse management solution service provided by @logistics Reply, to improve the management of operations at the Bolzano site. SideUp Reply™ proved to be an appropriate response to the client’s specific requirements. To access the system, no local installation is necessary, simply an Internet connection and a browser are required. In this way, managers of foreign warehouses can also easily monitor and manage their inventory in real-time. The system allows orders leaving Italy to be filtered, authorising only the shipping of parts that have the required authorisation, up to the point of order completion. Customisation was introduced to complete the procedure, assisting users with the necessary customs formalities.
