MANAMA: Infor, a business cloud software provider, announced that Al Jazira, a Bahraini retailer and distributor, is automating its warehouse with Infor CloudSuite WMS (Warehouse Management System).
With the help of Infor CloudSuite WMS, Al Jazira will gain greater visibility into inventory, orders, equipment and staff.
This will increase the company’s ability to manage stock more efficiently while providing greater insights into the performance of individual products and offerings, and helping the company develop strategic plans more effectively, it said.
Al Jazira group general manager Ujjal Kumar Mukherjee said: “With a fast-growing distribution network, retail chain and food services business, it was vital for us to operate our warehouse as effectively and efficiently as possible. With Infor CloudSuite WMS, we will be able to transition from manual warehousing systems to a state-of-the-art automated system, giving us a full overview of our inventory, enabling us to vastly improve ordering, avoid waste and satisfy our customers better.”
The deployment of Infor WMS, which is being handled by Infor partner SNS, started in June and is expected to be complete by Q4-2019.
Jonathan Wood, general manager for the Middle East and Africa at Infor, said: “With Al Jazira keen to accelerate its retail, distribution and food service businesses in Bahrain, Infor CloudSuite WMS is ideally suited to helping Al Jazira achieve its aims. We’re confident that with a fully automated warehouse, Al Jazira will be ideally placed to scale up its operations, improve its operational efficiency and deliver superior quality of service to its customers.”
Al Jazira opened the doors of its first store in 1965 and now has some 500 employees across its distribution, retail, and food service businesses.
It currently has eight stores and is the exclusive distributor for top FMCG brands including Heinz, L’Oreal, MCvities, Pinar, Hero, Mazola and Volvic in Bahrain.
