SOLVO has successfully complete an automation project for the warehouse of a 3PL-subdivision of “Best” - a major retail-production holding – with an area of 12,000 square meters in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The “Best” company group is a multi-profile organization operating on the FMCG market with a network of retail and production facilities across Siberia and the Ural regions. One of the verticals of the holding is offering secure storage services for foodstuffs and drinks at the new major class-A warehouse.
Implementation goals
When building the warehouse, the company aimed to establish fast, fail-safe and smooth warehouse operations to meet the demands of its clients. Thus, it was decided to implement a WMS, namely Solvo.WMS for 3PL-operators. The choice was supported by the many years of SOLVO’s experience in automating secure storage warehouses.

The warehouse offers such services as: SKU receiving and putaway, cross-docking, secure storage, inventory, order assembly, marking, packing and re-packing, picking, and the processing of all standard accompanying documentation.
The warehouse is equipped with 6 racking systems and contains a park for load handling equipment, which consists of four stackers, 2 high-rise HLOP-type forklifts ad several other forklifts. The warehouse uses rack storage and is divided into two zones: - Zone with wide aisle racks and a narrow-aisle storage zone. The warehouse also contains three holding cameras with various temperature modes for storing dairy products, fish, fruits and vegetables, which is important for clients specializing in food products.
