Challenges

RDI faced several operational challenges. Much of their work was still dependent on manual processes, and the existing solutions did not fully support their business needs. They struggled with a lack of inventory control across different locations and encountered recurring issues when unloading containers. In addition, the integration with their core systems was not functioning well, creating further inefficiencies.

Solution

Trace Order Management System with multi warehouse functionality at three locations.
Trace Warehouse Management System at the location in Kristiansand.
A dedicated goods reception app.
Integration with automation, Finance, MDM, Norwegian Customs and retail systems.

Benefits

With the implementation of Trace, RDI now benefits from full support across core logistical processes, improved inventory control, automated invoice verification, and a significant reduction in cost per transaction. These benefits have been achieved with a multi-warehouse solution for Trace OMS across three locations, combined with Trace WMS at the main warehouse in Kristiansand.
