Since beginning its gradual migration to Reflex WMS, the logistics provider has observed various improvements, including productivity gains in e-commerce order picking, and optimized pick execution and scheduling.
Grenoble, November 27, 2024 – Reflex, a Hardis Group business unit and a leading provider of supply chain software, announces that Denjean Logistique, a major logistics provider in the Occitanie region of southwest France, has opted for Reflex WMS as its warehouse management solution to support its growth and optimize its logistics operations.
Addressing new needs and challenges
Logistics provider Denjean Logistique, part of Groupe Denjean, has experienced steady business growth since its inception in 2001, and is now one of the leaders in its field in southwest France. The company has 10 warehouses spanning in 228,000 sq. m in total, serves 70 customers, employs over 300 people, and posts annual revenues of €40 million.
In 2022, in a move designed to address evolving needs and challenges, Denjean Logistique opted to roll out Reflex WMS for its customers without their own warehouse management software. Having explored several off-the-shelf options, the company chose Hardis Group’s solution after being impressed by its robust, feature-rich design, its upgrade roadmap, and the attentive, agile support offered by the Reflex team to assist with the rollout of the new WMS. “I’d already deployed Reflex WMS at a previous company, so I was familiar with both the application and the team behind it,” said Benoît Leclerc, Managing Director of Denjean Logistique. Laurent Dupos, Process Director at Denjean Logistique, added: “Other decisive factors included Reflex’s e-commerce flow management features—where our previous application fell short—and the APIs available as standard.”
Gradual migration to Reflex WMS
Denjean Logistique began gradually migrating to Reflex WMS in 2022. To date, 75% of its customers have been successfully switched over to the new software, with the company taking a case-by-case approach tailored to each customer’s specific logistics and IT environments. “The application is interfaced with various systems, including our customers’ ERP systems and our own TMS,” said Dupos. “Our staff have been trained to use Reflex WMS and can now deploy the software without outside support.”
In the first phase, Denjean Logistique is focusing on migrations with a like-for-like scope. “We’ll be focusing on process optimization from 2025,” said Leclerc. In the future, the logistics provider plans to explore the option of rolling out new features such as the voice picking module to boost operator efficiency, and the Visibility solution, to share information with customers in real time.
Gains already achieved
Denjean Logistique has already observed substantial gains since deploying Reflex WMS. The application’s dedicated e-commerce picking features have boosted productivity by allowing the company to implement a new mass collection and deconsolidation process. Time-consuming tasks that were once performed manually, such as pick execution and scheduling, are now automated. And the application’s stability has been substantially improved through regular updates.
Overall, Denjean Logistique is satisfied with its decision to opt for Reflex WMS, which has not only boosted operational efficiency, but also paved the way for further business growth.
