Successful Implementation of Ongoing WMS at Magnusson & Freij

ZeeU recently had the chance to talk with Josef Rynmark, IT Manager at Magnusson & Freij, about how Ongoing WMS works for them, how it operates in conjunction with Jeeves, and what's next at Magnusson & Freij: "Ongoing WMS is a very valuable addition to our business. It facilitates our daily management at the warehouse by ensuring accuracy in the picking processes and gives us increased efficiency and productivity."

Rynmark continues by highlighting the user-friendliness of Ongoing: "The system makes it easy to do right and hard to do wrong. It minimizes the risk of errors and contributes to a better quality of our deliveries. The user interface is very simple and straightforward, making it easy for our employees to become efficient in its use quickly. Previously, we had a walkthrough with new employees and a training process of 3-5 days. Now, they are up and running on their own in less than an hour. Through customized reports and the statistics module, we also get valuable insights that help us improve our processes and identify bottlenecks. Moreover, we are about to integrate Ongoing with other tools and systems we use."

As previously mentioned, Ongoing WMS can also be integrated with Jeeves for a more seamless experience of the different tools. For Magnusson & Freij, this has meant a clearer insight into data and a smoother workflow. "The integration between Ongoing WMS and Jeeves has been smooth and has really contributed to improving the efficiency of our operations. It creates good interfaces where the same data is available in both systems but is presented in different ways. The integration also includes automatic data synchronization which covers, among other things, order information, customer details, and inventory levels. This means that information updated in one system is automatically available in the other," he comments.

Magnusson & Freij AB is also using an additional service called PinDeliver for optimizing the transports with their own trucks. Rynmark's words on the collaboration: "We utilize the trucks more efficiently by optimizing their routes while making full use of their loading capacity. With PinDeliver, we have been able to optimize our deliveries through smart route planning and the most efficient use of our own trucks. The ability to offer our customers real-time delivery tracking has been highly appreciated. The platform’s user-friendliness and the driver app have made it easier for our logistics team to manage deliveries smoothly and paper-free. We are very satisfied with PinDeliver as a partner."

High ratings for the delivery by ZeeU and Ongoing

"The collaboration between ZeeU and Ongoing has worked really well! Both providers have proven to be responsive and supportive in meeting our specific needs and requirements. Having access to two robust systems that complement each other has allowed us to create a more efficient and dynamic warehouse management and distribution process. ZeeU's expertise in certain areas, together with Ongoing's specialization in warehouse management, has given us a combined solution that covers all our needs. This has also facilitated scalability and flexibility in our operations. For example, we can talk to our consultants about something we want to change, and later that same day or sometimes just after a few hours, the change is in place and operational," Rynmark continues.

But it's not just the installation of Ongoing that is underway for Magnusson & Freij. Among other things, they are suppliers of consumables to events such as the Gothenburg Basketball Festival, Partille Cup, and Gothia Cup during the spring and summer of 2024. They also have a sustainability project that works to offer their customers information and products to make it easier to make the right product choices. "At Magnusson & Freij, we are always looking for new ways to engage our customers and improve their experience," Rynmark concludes.
