In 2022, Soriana, one of Mexico’s largest supermarket chains with 800 locations, initiated a digital transformation by replacing its in-house systems with Blue Yonder’s WMS and WLM on SaaS/Azure, implemented by Netlogistik. To reduce risks at the point of sale, the rollout began in a mid-sized distribution center instead of the largest one. Soriana scaled quickly, achieving seven fully operational distribution centers in two years.

Challenges in modern supply chain fulfillment are well-known to its practitioners — higher SKU counts, decreased order sizes, faster delivery expectations, and reduced tolerance for errors while dealing with tighter labor markets and demand for improved working conditions and employee safety. There has been an explosion of automation options catering to these challenges. In a rush to address satisfying these expectations, it is easy to overlook details of the current status. NetLogistik will explore the need for self-assessment of labor and processes to establish baseline metrics as part of an overall strategy towards automation transformation. These metrics, in turn, may confirm suspected issues/bottlenecks or point in a different direction with results influencing technology choices.
