Logistics Case Study: Univers Décor

 

Univers Décor is a family-owned online retailer specializing in home linens and small decorative items. The company was founded seven years ago by Benjamin and his father. Driven by a passion for beautiful interiors and an eye for detail, they built a website together that has become a go-to destination for anyone looking for quality products to add a personal touch to their home.

Every day, Univers Décor processes an impressive average of 1,000 orders, a testament to the trust customers place in the company.

 

Issues Encountered

 

However,Univers Décor ’s growing success did not come without challenges. The company faced significant logistics management issues. Manually processing orders and tracking inventory were time-consuming and tedious tasks. The company often found itself facing situations ofoverstocking or understocking, which made it difficult to plan for restocking.

In addition, manually managing orders led to numerous errors. Each order error resulted in additional phone calls and emails, which sometimes caused delivery delays. These delays, in turn, affected the company’s reputation on its website and on various marketplaces.

Inventory management was so complex that the existing system was somewhat outdated and therefore inefficient: orders were printed on paper, sorted by hand, and the location of each item had to be memorized. This labor-intensive process of sorting and fulfilling orders took up valuable time, making it increasingly difficult to manage the company’s growth.
