Asda will deploy the “Perfect Logistics” industry solution
experience, which leverages DELMIA Quintiq applications and is
based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, across the U.K. and Ireland to
integrate and optimize the flow of goods between its suppliers,
distribution centers and stores. In one virtual planning
environment, Asda can rely on supply chain data, logistics
resources and insights to implement optimal delivery strategies,
efficiently use resources, and centralize the planning process of
its transport logistics services. The visibility and the control
provided by DELMIA Quintiq applications enable Asda to deliver on
key performance indicators such as reduced transportation costs and
improved operational efficiencies and on-time delivery.
“Perfect Logistics” including DELMIA Quintiq will also help Asda
boost its environmental performance in an industry where
sustainability has become a business imperative. Asda gains the
flexibility and agility to optimize transportation routes, which
reduces empty mileage, makes the most of return journeys and
maximizes capacity utilization. These improvements are key
contributors for lowering emissions and fuel consumption and
achieving more sustainable business operations.
Asda’s logistics services encompass 39 operations in different
regions processing billions of cases and millions of deliveries to
supermarkets, supercenters, superstores, and pick-up and drop-off
points each year. In 2015, Asda diversified its services by
introducing its “toyou” parcel solution, which offers consumers the
convenience of returning or collecting purchases from third-party
online retailers at more than 600 Asda stores. For Asda, deploying
industry-leading technologies to seamlessly integrate and optimize
these and other innovative services as part of its end-to-end
logistics operations is key for excelling at cost competitiveness
and customer service in a demanding marketplace.
“We needed a flexible solution that meets the needs of our
business. Through the use of Dassault Systèmes’ logistics planner,
we will be able to move goods quickly, efficiently and cost
effectively across our supply ecosystem. Everyone managing our
transport operations can see exactly the same picture, and our
primary and secondary distribution can work in sync across planning
and execution. We can receive instant feedback on our decisions,”
said Paul Anastasiou, Senior Director – Parcel Services, Logistics
Technology and Operating Models, Asda. “Dassault Systèmes’
experience in the retail sector, software capabilities, and the
expertise of its implementation partner The Logic Factory, are key
elements of our transformation journey.”
“Retailers must be able to set themselves apart from
cost-cutting competition while taking driver skills, CO2 emissions
and transportation costs into consideration. This requires
sustainable business operations that optimize energy, materials and
human resources,” said Philippe Loeb, Vice President, Consumer
Packaged Goods & Retail Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “Dassault
Systèmes provides the only solutions capable of handling such
complexity. It delivers unmatched functionalities that transform
retail logistics from a cost center to an efficient, more
sustainable value driver.”
