Customer Background & Requirements

Belgian Car Parts is an authorized automotive spare parts distributor in Belgium, formed through the merger of two companies specializing in parts for Citroën, Opel, Fiat, and Peugeot vehicles. Operating nationwide, the company manages thousands of different SKUs and a wide variety of packaging formats, including pallets, cartons, and bags of various sizes. 

As both product volumes and order quantities continued to grow, Belgian Car Parts required a modern storage solution capable of maximizing warehouse space, improving picking efficiency, and ensuring a smooth and reliable workflow. 

Challenges

Before implementing the new solution, Belgian Car Parts faced several logistics and warehouse management challenges: 

• A large product portfolio with varying sizes and packaging formats made storage organization increasingly complex. 
• Warehouse operators spent significant time walking throughout the facility to locate and retrieve items, reducing overall productivity. 
• Traditional storage methods resulted in inefficient use of available warehouse space. 
• Order fulfillment and inbound/outbound inventory management processes were time-consuming. 
• Growing customer expectations demanded faster service while maintaining high levels of accuracy. 

Belgian Car Parts needed a solution that could optimize storage capacity, accelerate order processing, and create a more efficient working environment for warehouse staff. 

Solution

To address these challenges, Belgian Car Parts partnered with Vanas and Modula to deploy a smart warehouse system equipped with advanced automation technologies. 

The solution included: 

• Smart Warehouse Modula Lift. 
• External Double Bay access system to optimize picking and replenishment workflows. 
• Laser Pointer technology for precise item location guidance. 
• LED Bar system for fast and intuitive picking operations. 
• Conveyor systems connecting different warehouse processing areas. 
• A customized Warehouse Management System (WMS) tailored to the company's operational requirements. 

By adopting the Goods-to-Person principle, products are automatically delivered to the operator, eliminating the need for employees to travel throughout the warehouse searching for items. 

Achieved

Following implementation, Belgian Car Parts achieved significant improvements across its warehouse operations: 

More Than 90% Reduction in Storage Footprint

By fully utilizing vertical storage space, the company dramatically reduced the warehouse floor area required compared to traditional storage methods. 

Increased Order Fulfillment Productivity

With the support of Laser Pointer and LED Bar technologies, operators can quickly and accurately identify the required items, reducing picking time and increasing overall order processing speed. 

Optimized Material Flow

The integration of Modula systems, conveyor technology, and the customized WMS created a seamless workflow for receiving, storing, and distributing inventory. 

Improved Working Conditions
