Nulogy, a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain software solutions has enhanced the data visibility of its long-term customer, CEVA Logistics, at its co-pack sites in Turkey.
Launched in 1946, CEVA Logistics is a global logistics provider with more than 100,000 employees operating in 170 countries worldwide. In 2017, CEVA introduced Nulogy to its global network, beginning with operations in the Netherlands, as part of a larger strategy to evolve CEVA’s value-added co-packing services as a competitive differentiator. By rolling out a standardised software solution to manage the co-packing side of its value-added services, CEVA aimed to optimise business operations across its network to better strategically position the network for new business.
CEVA required a purpose-built software solution for its value-added contract packaging sites in Turkey in order to tackle a range of challenges.
Operational workflows at the CEVA locations in Turkey were reliant on manual and paper-based processes, which were time consuming to complete and resulted in inefficiencies on the shop floor. CEVA was looking for a digital solution that could maximise operational efficiency at these sites.
In addition, such reliance on manual entry processes also meant that there were data blind spots for profitability and production performance tracking at those sites. Key operational data was lagging or inaccessible, hindering opportunities for continual process improvement.
“Nulogy’s industry-specific focus and innovative technology through its cloud based solution and user-friendly interface made it stand out from other software solutions, and is an excellent fit for CEVA’s digitalisation strategy,” said Gül?ah Gebecik, BPE System Development Engineer at CEVA Logistics.
Impressively, CEVA implemented Nulogy at its four Turkey sites over the span of 12 months during the COVID-19 pandemic. And, after implementing Nulogy, CEVA Logistics witnessed a wealth of benefits.
Within 12 months of implementing Nulogy, all four CEVA sites in Turkey improved operational performance, with the best performing site boosting its performance metrics by 10%.
Furthermore, the introduction of Nulogy enabled site operations with granular data visibility into product profitability, better preparing the sites’ planning capabilities. As well, this data visibility was also provided to customers, who were therefore able to gather data such as BOMs and product mockups with less time and effort.
The performance improvements seen at CEVA’s Turkey sites due to the implementation of Nulogy has been met with praise and satisfaction from a major CPG brand customer. Additionally, the enablement of data visibility reduced the workload and labour costs on the CPG brand side – another value add for CEVA’s strategic customer.
Olgun Burgaz Operations Manager at CEVA Logistics, concluded, “Implementing Nulogy was an important step in our digitalisation strategy. Transferring operational data from physical forms to digital media required a lot of labour, and in this field alone, significant savings were achieved.”
