A fully redesigned, centralized, automated logistics system means gains in efficiency and speed

Late in 2019, in response to the rapid expansion of picking operations driven by the diversification of its product range and distribution channels, POLYFLAME decided to totally re-think its logistics processes in terms both of organization and practices.
The company decided to concentrate all its logistics activities - previously divided between a 4000 m2 platform in Bonneuil-sur-Marne and an outsourcer in Rotterdam, in charge of operations for hazardous products - in a single site.
