Franco Ziccardi, Solution Design Transformation Director at Unipart Logistics, highlighted the company's dedication to innovation: "At Unipart Logistics, we are constantly looking for new technologies that can bring value to our customers. Our recent engagement with Dexory is a huge leap forward in adopting autonomous mobile robots within our warehouses. Using DexoryView provides us with real-time data on stock accuracy that empowers our teams to take intelligent and informed decisions which helps to drive the business forward."

After conducting extensive market research, Unipart selected the Dexory platform, DexoryView, for its robust features and user-friendly interface. The implementation of this autonomous mobile robot at Unipart's Nuneaton warehouse, where Vodafone's operations are primarily based, has yielded impressive results in supporting the mobile giant's supply chain needs.

Simon Leggott, Unipart Customer Engagement Director for Vodafone, emphasised the impact of this technology: "The Dexory platform has allowed our Stock team to focus more time on truly value-adding activities rather than checks and validations which can be completed using the automation. The importance of this cannot be overstated given the value of the products we distribute for Vodafone and the importance of ensuring that the correct product gets to the right customer at the right time."

The Unipart-Dexory solution has significantly improved efficiency in managing Vodafone's inventory. It has enabled a 32% decrease in stock transfer requests and a 45% reduction in issue investigation time. Moreover, the system now completes 100% of daily checks against the Warehouse Management System within hours, allowing proactive management of discrepancies before they impact operations or customer satisfaction.

Gareth Williams, Vodafone Head of Logistics, praised the innovation: "Our partnership with Unipart Logistics continues to thrive on innovation and efficiency. The implementation of the Dexory warehouse intelligence platform has revolutionised our stock management, leading to enhanced processes and maximised efficiency."

This successful collaboration between Unipart and Dexory in service of Vodafone sets a new standard in logistics operations. It demonstrates Unipart's ability to integrate advanced robotics into supply chain management, ensuring that customers like Vodafone benefit from increased efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in their logistics operations.
