More intensive competition and stronger focus are dominating retail. Anyone wanting to make it has to utilise their potential – particularly in logistics.

Brand power? In the consumer goods industry it is unbroken – but it still cannot prevent prices from dropping. Everyone is competing on price, the argument about margins dominates everything. Because: the end user wants ever better products, ever more product choice, even more service. But all this for the same or for lower prices, please.

Turn weaknesses into strengths

Something that is a hindrance for some is a chance for others: the break-up of vertical price maintenance and the abolition of the discount law, as well as the bonuses regulation, allowed the development of active pricing policies – and thus the possibility of good competitive positioning. This assumes success in creating the financial leeway needed to grow and to bring new products to market as quickly as possible. It is at exactly this point that Kardex comes into action: by intelligent organisation of your manufacturing and logistics structures we will raise the efficiency of your work processes, strengthen your position and help you to react successfully to the demands of the market. In doing so we will look at in-house and inbound activities – from your suppliers all the way to individual work stations.

RFID, CPFR? Looking good!

After all it’s all about one thing: making the right product available at the right time in the right place. In just the right quantity. Kardex will also be at your side here. For example, if it’s about reorganising a linear supply chain with new technology into an efficient, flexible and demand-orientated logistics network. Or if you want to raise the accuracy of your forecasts and thus optimise availability at the point of sale. Because: it is easier to forecast the future when you shape it yourself.
