Technology solutions for a technology leader: Smartlog and DEPAU
Smartlog, a leader in intralogistics solutions, has reached a key agreement with DEPAU, one of the largest technology distributors in Spain, to optimize its supply chain through state-of-the-art automated solutions. This partnership strengthens DEPAU’s operational capabilities in the competitive technology and electronics distribution sector.
The IT sector is experiencing exponential growth, with an increase in the complexity of inventory management. The wide range of products on offer, the customization of orders and the need to maintain fast and accurate logistics operations are constant challenges to ensure customer satisfaction.
Against this backdrop, DEPAU needed to optimize its operations to maintain its leadership in the distribution of IT products to establishments and online shops. With a catalogue of more than 11,000 references and a commitment to delivery in less than 24 hours throughout the peninsula and the Balearic Islands, the company needed an innovative solution to meet the growing expectations of its customers.
Smartlog, after a thorough analysis of DEPAU’s needs, will implement the AutoStore system, a scalable and sustainable robotic system designed to drive the company’s future growth. The AutoStore will feature 9,725 containers and 30 R5 PRO robots, designed to drive greater efficiency in order picking. The six carousel workstations will optimize workflow, while the system will ensure safe and reliable operations.
This solution will enable DEPAU to improve accuracy and speed in the preparation of orders from its extensive product catalogue, and reduce errors, contributing to greater customer satisfaction. In addition, AutoStore offers flexibility and scalability, adapting easily to fluctuations in demand and market changes, providing essential operational agility in a highly competitive and constantly evolving environment.
Working with Smartlog has been instrumental in addressing our logistics challenges. Their approach, based on a detailed analysis of our data and aligned with our strategic objectives, has given us the confidence that we are on the right track. The solution will not only improve the quality of our service and reduce error-related costs, but also optimize our energy efficiency. As a scalable and flexible solution, AutoStore adapts perfectly to our current and future needs, allowing us to grow and adjust to demand with ease. This consolidates us as a benchmark in the sector, ensuring our long-term competitiveness, while maintaining a sustainable approach in all our operations.
