Witt Group
Automated document processing in logistics
Increased efficiency in the retail sector: automated invoice printing
Data exchange and system integration ensure workflow optimization in shipping logistics
As a multi-channel retailer operating throughout Europe, the Witt Group processes about 12,500 orders per hour at peak times. During the picking process, each order is accompanied by the corresponding invoice and other shipping documents in printed form. The online retailer has now fully automated this process.
The core of the workflow optimization is the smooth interaction of the OneVision workflow automation with the Canon printing machines and the Witt Group's production control system. The integration of the various systems increases both flexibility and efficiency in shipping logistics. This enables the Witt Group to vary the operating times and throughput of the packing department depending on the volume of orders, thereby saving costs.
The OneVision Highlights
Manual work steps in document processing are time-consuming and error-prone, especially with an order volume of several thousand orders per hour. As part of the expansion of its logistics warehouse, the Witt Group has optimized their workflow and now benefits from automated invoice printing:
- Integration and real-time data exchange of all systems involved
- Automated transfer, processing and checking of invoice and shipping print files
- Barcode-based job identification and assignment of print jobs
- Automatic selection of available printing systems
- Automatic insertion of printed documents into the corresponding order tray
- Check and comparison between order tray and inserted documents
Daniel Hahn, Head of Shipping Department of the Witt Group“From the order to the finished invoice in one shipment, we were able to achieve our goals with Canon as a holistic solution provider for document printing. The solution works absolutely reliably and gives us flexibility in shipping logistics. At the same time, it is the platform for further growth.”
