Carrefour Polska has extended its contract with ID Logistics. The agreement concerns the management of the retail chain’s Distribution Centers in Będzin and Piotrków Trybunalski. They play a key role in the regional goods distribution system and the supply of hypermarkets, supermarkets, and franchise stores in the northern and southern parts of the country.
ID Logistics has been cooperating with Carrefour Polska for over 8 years. Since 2008, the logistics operator has managed the retail chain’s Distribution Center in Będzin, and since 2012, the Distribution Center in Piotrków Trybunalski. Under the agreement, ID Logistics is responsible for the efficient management of warehouse processes, including goods storage, order picking in transit, picking and cross-docking modes, packaging logistics, and returns logistics. Both warehouses are managed in accordance with the strict requirements of the ID Logistics Internal Quality Standard – CID and the international IFS Logistics (International Featured Standard) certificate, awarded to logistics companies cooperating with retail chains.
– Over this long period of cooperation, together with our client, Carrefour Polska, we have managed to implement many innovative solutions and projects. This approach results in continuous quality improvement and optimization of logistics processes in the warehouses we manage. We are pleased that our cooperation so far has been highly rated by our client and that we will be able to develop it further by proposing new solutions that support the growth of their business – said Krystian Mrukwa, Development Director at ID Logistics Polska.
Distribution Center in Będzin
The area of the Distribution Center in Będzin, which employs 450 people, is 46,000 sq. m. From this warehouse, fresh and dry food products as well as industrial goods (including household chemicals, hygiene products) are delivered to the retail chain’s stores in southern Poland. The warehouse is divided into 4 zones. Innovative technological solutions applied here include a warehouse fleet monitoring system and ring scanners.
Distribution Center in Piotrków Trybunalski
The area of the Distribution Center in Piotrków Trybunalski is 18,000 sq. m. Over 200 people work here. From here, food products requiring storage, handling, and transport at a controlled temperature are delivered to Carrefour stores in northern Poland. The warehouse is divided into 4 temperature zones (0-2ºC – fresh fish on ice, 0-4ºC – meat, 4-7ºC – fruits and vegetables, 1-4ºC – dairy) and is equipped with two independent cooling systems – glycol and ammonia, which ensure the safety of storing sensitive goods. In the Piotrków Distribution Center, Carrefour and ID Logistics have applied many solutions supporting the efficiency of warehouse handling processes, including pallet collars for vegetable transport and special roll containers with shelves for transporting damage-sensitive items. A remotely controlled light signaling system has been installed at the tops of the over eight-meter-high racks, which increases work safety.
