Warehouse management is often one of those processes where problems only become apparent when the company starts to grow rapidly: manual processes are no longer sufficient, errors increase, hiring new employees takes a long time, and inventory transparency deteriorates. Precisely in such moments, digitization becomes a key factor for stable and sustainable development. <\/p>\n\n

This time we invited Mr. Ljubi\u0161a Veselinovski <\/strong>, director and co-owner of Team Elektro Plus, who made an important step towards greater accuracy, transparency and efficiency of warehouse processes by introducing WMS solutions with integration into the ERP system. In the conversation, he openly talks about the challenges they faced before digitization, the decisions and measures during the implementation and the concrete effects they observe in practice today. <\/p>\n\n

To begin with – how would you briefly introduce the company Team Elektro Plus and your business?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Tim Elektro Plus is a company that has been operating in the field of electrical distribution and trade in electrical materials for several years. The company has existed since 2018, but the founders have significantly longer experience in the same industry. Business has developed rapidly in recent years, the volume of work has increased, and with it the need for better organization and a systematic approach within the company (warehousing, logistics, human resources, etc.). <\/p>\n\n

How would you describe your internal warehouse processes<\/strong>? Are they very <\/strong>complex<\/strong>? W <\/strong>hat prompted you to think about digitization?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Our processes may not seem very complex at first glance, but when the volume of work increases, the limitations of manual work quickly become apparent. There are many different items, movement of goods, changes in orders and adjustments in real time. At some point, we realized that the existing way of working, regardless of the experience of the employees, simply no longer allows for accuracy and stable growth. Digitization became the next step logical. <\/p>\n\n

How did you operate before implementing the WMS solution and what was the situation in the warehouse?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Before the introduction of WMS systems, the warehouse was highly dependent on manual labor and individual knowledge. We had permanent locations for larger items, but when inventory grew or surplus goods appeared, they would be temporarily stored, without precise system tracking. This meant you had to “know” where the item was, rather than the system showing it clearly. This way of working can still work on a small scale, but as a company grows, it quickly becomes risky. The mistakes were not due to the ignorance or negligence of the employees, but due to the limitations of the way of working without digital support. Inventory transparency was limited, and each additional step required more checks and communication. <\/p>\n\n

What challenges did most limit your growth and daily work?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

The biggest challenges were errors in issuing goods, lack of transparency of actual inventory and high dependence on experienced individuals. A special problem was the selection of goods – the order of preparation, optimization of routes through the warehouse and finding of items. Onboarding new employees was also a significant challenge. Before digitalization, it took a very long time for someone to become truly independent, because they first had to “internalize” the logic of the warehouse. This is not only a staffing challenge, but also a business risk if the company wants to expand or replace employees. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Why did you decide not to delay digitization until moving to new premises?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

At first, we really thought about waiting for the new facility we had planned. But then we said to ourselves: why waste two years? It is much better to organize processes now, learn them in practice and enter a new facility with an already established system and clear rules. This will make the transition much easier and more efficient. <\/p>\n\n

What was crucial when choosing a solution from the Trace BS offer?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Integration with our Pantheon ERP system was an absolute requirement, without it we would not have considered the solution at all. Additionally, we absolutely needed the system to be adaptable to our real-world processes. We didn’t want a “nice system”, but a solution that adapts to the way we work in practice, even when things aren’t ideal. <\/p>\n\n

A very important factor was the relationship. We are looking for a partner who understands that processes evolve, that unforeseen situations arise and that solutions should be sought together. The support and flexibility of the Trace BS team proved to be key values, especially the fact that the response was not “this is not possible”, but “let’s see how we can solve it”. <\/p>\n\n

How was the implementation and what was the hardest part?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

The technical part was not the hardest. The biggest challenge was changing the habits and way of thinking of the employees. The beginning is always the hardest, especially when you have a lot of work to do. The presence and support of the Trace BS team was very important, so we solved problems on the fly. Without them, the transition would have been much more difficult. <\/p>\n\n

What concrete results do you see today after implementing the system?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Today, we have significantly higher accuracy and fewer errors when issuing goods. Warehouse workers work faster because the system guides them to the correct locations and optimal work order. An important difference is also reflected in more fluid communication. Work orders are automatically transferred to the warehouse, without additional explanations or paperwork. One of the biggest added values \u200b\u200bis getting to know new employees. New employees understand the logic of the warehouse after only a few weeks and can work efficiently with the scanners. It used to take up to six months or more for someone to become truly independent. Today, the system guides them very efficiently and they do not depend on the verbal transmission of knowledge. This significantly reduces risks and enables more stable growth of the company. <\/p>\n\n

How do you look at return on investment and measurable savings?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

We do not see this as a quick financial return on investment. For us, digitization is a prerequisite for growth. Savings show up gradually \u2013 through fewer errors, less chaos, better organization and the ability to grow without immediate additional hiring. This is a long-term investment in the quality of work. <\/p>\n\n

What are your plans and what message would you give to other companies?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

collection process, automatic addition of locations and even greater digitization. I would like to convey to other companies that digitization is not an expense, but an investment. If you want to grow, be competitive and stable in the long term, you can’t put it off any longer. But the key is choosing the right partner, not just the technology. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

A final thought<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

The experience of Team Elektro Plus clearly shows that warehouse digitization is not a question of the size of the company, but of the level of its ambitions. When processes are based on the system and not on individuals, the company becomes more stable, less vulnerable and grows much easier. The key step is not the technology itself, but the decision to organize processes in a timely manner, before growth forces you to do so. It is at this moment that digitalization from support has become the foundation of long-term development. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n
