Retail logistics consulting for wholesale and multi-site retail

AZentron Solutions provides retail logistics consulting, project management and interim management for wholesalers and multi-site retailers – with experience from corporate roles in food retail.

In retail, logistics meets the customer directly. Every store needs the right goods at the right time, freshness and the cold chain must not break, and at the same time inventory must not tie up too much capital. Anyone who knows these trade-offs from their own responsibility finds solutions that work in everyday operations faster.

Store logistics: reliable all the way to the shelf

Delivery concepts, route planning and delivery windows determine whether a store is supplied on time. Especially in urban locations with tight time windows and limited space, store logistics needs coordinated processes between warehouse, transport and store.

Temperature-controlled logistics and food logistics in Austria

Fresh, chilled and frozen goods place their own demands on warehousing, transport and processes. I support the planning and development of temperature-controlled areas and their integration into the entire supply chain – with a focus on shelf life, stock rotation and delivery quality.

Planning a frozen warehouse

Planning a frozen warehouse means thinking building physics, technology and processes together from the outset. I have delivered chilled and frozen zones in a greenfield warehouse with more than 50,000 m² of usable floor space as the client’s representative.

Inventory and capital commitment in retail

Broad product ranges, promotional goods and seasonal items make inventory planning in retail demanding. Shared planning foundations for purchasing, sales and logistics reduce overstock and shortages at the same time.
