Warehousing & Distribution

We offer efficient and reliable inland transport services with warehouse operations and systematic transport planning

Samsung SDS employs Cello and cutting-edge IT technologies to formulate the most efficient strategies for warehouse operations and transport. Leveraging rich experience and expertise, we ensure the safe storage and transportation of customers’ cargo. Additionally, diverse solutions are utilized to optimize workflows, drive innovation, and maximize the efficiency of our customer’s logistics operations.

Key Features

  1. Strategy Formulation Using Data Analytics
    Leveraging accumulated data, we formulate operational strategies for warehouses, including logistics network design, warehouse layouts considering automation, inventory placement strategies based on order and shipment patterns, stocking/allocation, and picking/packing. Additionally, we analyze vehicle and route information, along with delivery performance, to establish the most effective delivery strategies. In addition, we support diagnosing the operating level of a warehouse based on accumulated operational data and identifying the areas that need improvement.
  2. Tailored Warehouse Operations and Delivery for Clients
    We formulate operational plans by considering the location of the customer’s warehouse and shipping destinations. In addition to standard B2B logistics operations, we offer customized services that align with the unique characteristics and needs of our customers’ businesses. This includes the establishment of an integrated logistics hub for procuring materials from various vendors, the operation of a dedicated B2C fulfillment center, and Last Mile Delivery (LMD) services.
  3. Enhanced Operational Efficiency through Optimization
    We optimize warehouse efficiency using advanced technologies, including the Cello Loading Optimizer with an optimization algorithm to efficiently load ULDs and trucks, consolidate cargo, and establish stacking/allocation strategies through Cello VMS (Virtual Warehouse System). We also enhance operational efficiency using advanced technologies such as wearable devices for picking.
  4. Advance Validation with Digital Twin
    We implement the layout, equipment, and work processes of a warehouse in a virtual space and connect actual operational data. When volumes grow or the order mix changes, we use simulation to confirm which operating approach fits before applying it on site, reducing the burden and risk that come with operational changes.

Key Services

Logistics Network Design

Samsung SDS presents practical solutions through its Cello Warehouse Network Optimizer (WNO) solution, which utilizes optimization engines, to determine the most effective locations, sizes, and quantities of warehouses needed.

Warehouse Design and Operation Strategy Formulation

Consultants with extensive experience in warehouse design and operations formulate operational strategies by considering the characteristics, functional requirements, transportation/delivery routes, and cargo volume of the target items. They design optimal layouts to implement these strategies effectively.

Warehouse Operation and Fulfillment

We provide efficient operational services by systematizing/standardizing various tasks and processes within warehouses based on accumulated logistics expertise in different industrial sectors and the latest IT-based Cello platform.

Transport

We analyze vehicle and route information, along with delivery performance, to devise optimal delivery strategies for the entire transportation process. Our aim is to provide reliable and timely transportation services.

Smart W&D (Warehousing & Distribution)

We maximize the efficiency of warehouse operations and the delivery process by utilizing optimization algorithms and state-of-the-art technologies.

Specialized Cargo Transport Service

From the point of origin to the destination, we ensure the secure transportation of cargo utilizing specialized equipment and facilities tailored for transporting perishable goods, food items, pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, fragile items, high-value products, and other types of special cargo.

Warehouse Digital Twin Simulation

We validate changes to warehouse operations, such as storage strategy, order batching, work processes, and workforce planning, in a virtual space first. You can test situations such as peak-season volume increases or changes in order mix across multiple scenarios and choose the most suitable operating plan.
