Inventory control techniques enhanced by Harro FoodsA Japanese food wholesaler in the UK has boosted its operations management practices by implementing a new warehouse management system.

The Empirica solution from Chess Logistics Technology has been employed by Harro Foods to enhance stock management and traceability across its activities, Materials Handling World magazine reports.

Providing the Wimbledon-based company with up-to-date information about its stock, it has reportedly streamlined internal processes and improved customer service.

Branwyn Darlington, Harro Foods general manager for logistics, told the news source that a "proper" computerised system was needed to cope with issues such as stock turns and best-before dates.

"Now we have a solution that supports our business and the way we want to work," he added.

Founded in 1987, Harro Foods imports and distributes products from Japan to speciality retailers and food services professionals across the UK from its head office and warehouse facility in south-west London.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19562623-ADNFCR
