Successful logistics consolidation in Nordhorn increases goods availability and service quality
The BRILLGROUP has successfully integrated the decentralised individual warehouses into its central warehouse in Nordhorn. This reorganisation has led to a considerable increase in productivity and the availability of goods for customers. At the same time, the individual service and sales locations can now concentrate more on expanding their services and providing specialist advice.
