Agricorp, with over 25 years of experience in distributing consumer goods in Nicaragua, has significantly increased the productivity of its Distribution Center (CeDi) after implementing Infor’s WMS, a solution provided by Cerca Technology. This advancement has optimized operations and enabled the company to meet the growing demands of its diversified portfolio, which includes essential goods and personal care products.
A Transformation Driven by Operational Efficiency
As its portfolio grew, Agricorp recognized the need to modernize its warehouse management system to improve efficiency and adapt to new market demands. After evaluating various options, the company chose Infor’s WMS, highlighting the system’s ease of use, 3D visualization, advanced order management, and integration capabilities for Labor Management and Billing.
«The system’s intuitiveness was key to leading the implementation internally,» says Fidel Gómez, Logistics Manager at Agricorp. «It allowed us to successfully migrate to a new distribution center with double the capacity while maintaining smooth operations without relying on third parties.»
Operational Impact
Since implementing the WMS, Agricorp’s operations have seen a substantial workflow improvement, enabling the company to dispatch more products with the same team while reducing delivery times. Productivity metrics, inventory accuracy, and service capacity have also improved, reflecting increased operational efficiency that translates into higher sales and greater customer satisfaction.
«Today, we can’t imagine our operations without the WMS,» says Gómez. «The control and visibility it provides have been essential to maintaining our agility in the market and continuously improving.»
Thanks to this solution, the company has optimized its processes and strengthened its market position, achieving:
- 15% improvement in service level
- 25% improvement in delivery processes
- 99.9% inventory accuracy
- 30% increase in pallets moved with the same resources
- 107% increase in order preparation between 2021 and 2023
- Increased capacity to serve more customers
- Enhanced decision-making capabilities
Looking Ahead
With stabilized operations, the company continues to explore ways to optimize its logistics management. Future plans include integrating additional solutions such as Labor Management, Billing, and TMS—tools that would provide even greater operational control. These improvements will allow Agricorp to continue making data-driven decisions, enhancing accuracy and efficiency while maintaining an organized and adaptable operation to meet market needs.
