Stute Verkehrs GmbH manages logistics center for
LSG Sky Chefs with inconsoWMS S
Airline catering flies with standard solution
The Bremen logistics service provider Stute
Verkehrs-GmbH, a subsidiary of Khne + Nagel,
has been commissioned with the planning and
operations of a logistics center for the
LSG Sky Chefs Group. Based on the delivery
type for catering on board and equipment,
more than 300 airline customers at airports in 50
countries are serviced from the Gro-Gerau
location directly per truck to the goods receiver,
via sea container through the appropriate
harbors or from the Frankfurt airport freight
hub. For the warehouse management and
control, inconsoWMS S is used.
The decisive aspect for winning the order
was the large functional spectrum of the
inconsoWMS standard solution and the
comprehensive logistics know-how of inconso
AG as a leading consulting and software
company for logistics solutions in Europe.

spectrum of functionality including customs

Quicker, cheaper, more flexible and transparent! The pressure on logistics operators is immense. Adequate IT solutions and systems can
help to achieve further efficiencies. But: New logistics software and especially the implementation are also significant cost factors.
Considerable advantages are hoped for by many companies today when doing software implementations on more than one logistics
location: Under the buzzword templates, new concepts and methods are developed for efficient roll-outs of logistics solutions.

companies like inconso have the required
combination of far-reaching logistics knowhow, extensive IT experience and 4/5 of the
wealth of practical successes that are needed to
calculate such templates. Even when they
cover the processes that could be required in
every company, such templates always are set
up company specific. After all, they should
secure existing competitive advantages (for
example through special process efficiencies or
qualities) and eventually even increase these.
Therefore, as a first step, it is important to
carefully check and determine what the goals
are each company is trying to achieve with the
use of templates.
Thus, an analysis of all the general
requirements is suggested: How standardized
are the processes already? Which deviations
exist, which are tolerable, which are desired?
Should they eventually still be kept even
though a template is used? What does the IT
basis for the system look like how much
standardization does it allow?
The analysis and concept phase is decisive
for the success of the approach. And, a template
requires more time than when no template is
used. This is because the standardization
requires a significantly higher level of

Development,
implementation
and
operations of a logistic system with all its
modernity and efficiency in material and
management are still operated differently than in
an industrial country. Three challenges should be
mentioned: the information and communication
infrastructure of the country, the specifics for the
accounting processes and dialog guidance
resulting from this infrastructure and the politicalbureaucratic conditions.
Online yes, but how long?
Actually, for all IT activities in Nigeria, it can be
assumed: online connections are possible, but
they are prone to disruptions. Time and time
again, they break down or are disrupted for a
timespan. A purely central solution would be
doomed to fail from the beginning. This is why
JBN operates both a central server in Abuja and
ten regionally distributed independent
warehouse management servers that take care
of a number of local warehouses.
Automatic booking such as is normal here in
Germany must be executed manually for the
most part in Nigeria. Each individual warehouse
booking must be manually completed in a dialog.
For JBN, the inconso team developed a special
booking module and a refined user interface. It
had to be set up so that the booking requirements
and contents were exactly represented, but at
the same time having a highly error-tolerant user
and dialog process. The IWF front-end of
inconsoWMS X with its graphical interface proved
JBN has over 1,320 trucks in Nigeria that must be managed and moved.
