Lyreco has 900 10.000 employees, delivers 190,000 a little bit more than 200 000 packages daily in 28 countries, and is aiming for an annual turnover of 2.2 billion euros.
The National logistics centre in Monticelli, with its surface area of 22,000 m2, is the heart of the distribution network of Lyreco Italy. This facility includes the warehouse for stocking a distribution product range composed of 6,500 articles with 13000 orders / day. There are 65 employees working in the warehouse, and the average stock turnover is 22 days.
SAVOYE qualified as the chosen partner for the facility in Monticelli, which was the first pilot project. Facilities in Belgium, Denmark and most recently in Canada then followed followed.
“All international national orders in Italy are managed in Monticelli” explains Daverio. “Every day, 60 employees pick about 200,000 articles for 10,000 shipping boxes and another 2,000 shipments are prepared for direct delivery to the customer. On top of that, we guarantee a service quality of 99.8% with an error quota of 0.001.Ninety percent of the shipments are delivered in person within 24 hours of ordering. This also makes the order fulfilment process completely traceable, from the order itself to delivery of the product.
