“The flexibility of the systems enables us to store items in accordance with customer preferences. If a customer needs an item several times a week, this item is logistically positioned within the warehouse system to enable quick delivery” says Sebastian Rustige, Content Manager. “Another benefit for us and for our customers is being able to present the racking systems as reference objects for resales within the central warehouse itself. Because META is nearby, offers excellent contact, and has a flexible approach, we were able to achieve an optimum result in the shortest time possible.”
