"With WarehousePRO we are now controlling the process, without crisis," says Larry Dowling, manager of logistics for FPL. |
Company
Serving nearly four million customers in 34 counties throughout the state, Florida Power & Light (FPL) is a 76-year old public utility company based in Miami.
Problem
Florida Power & Light needed a more robust, flexible system to support a central distribution center with almost 18,000 parts, as well as numerous other distribution sites spread over 28,000 square miles. FPL wanted to improve customer responsiveness while lowering costs, reducing inventory and improving employee satisfaction.
Solution
The company implemented Logility Voyager Solutions WarehousePRO®, and increased productivity so dramatically that FPL redistributed 20% of its warehouse staff into more meaningful roles, eliminating a third-shift operation. "With WarehousePRO we are now controlling the process, without crisis," says Larry Dowling, manager of logistics for FPL. "And that's the most critical benefit we can count on." Additionally, FPL no longer has to repack shipments, and has dramatically cut errors and increased the accuracy of its logistics processes.
Bottom Line
- Redistributed 20% of its warehouse staff into more meaningful roles, eliminating a third-shift operation
- No longer has to repack shipments
- Dramatically cut errors and increased the accuracy of its logistics processes
