NxP: Smart Warehouse Management Software

Church Pharmacy, one of the UK’s leading suppliers in the private aesthetics and cosmetics industry, specializes in Medical Aesthetics, Botulinum Toxins, and Dermal fillers. With decades of experience, their operational scale required advanced solutions to automate warehouse management and streamline inventory processes.

To meet this challenge, Space Stem developed a custom Warehouse Management Software (WMS) named 'NxP' tailored to their specific needs. The solution also included seamless integration with the Kardex robotic system to optimize inventory handling and drive operational efficiency.

Challenges:

As the business grew, Church Pharmacy faced significant operational challenges:

• Manual warehouse operations led to inefficiencies, slowdowns, and increased costs.
• A need for real-time inventory visibility across multiple warehouses.
• The demand for automation to reduce manual labor and optimize warehouse operations.

Our Solution:

After assessing their requirements, Space Stem proposed developing 'NxP,' a custom & smart WMS solution designed to integrate advanced automation technology. Key elements of the project included:

• NxP WMS Software Development: Built using ABP architecture and efficient technologies like ASP.NET Core and Angular, NxP provides real-time insights, streamlined workflows, and full inventory control.
• Kardex Robot Integration: NxP was integrated with the Kardex robot, automating inventory-related tasks such as product storage, retrieval, and order fulfillment. The solution seamlessly syncs data across all stores and warehouses, reducing human intervention.
• Optimized User Experience: A user-friendly interface designed to be intuitive for staff and administrators, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal training needs.

Results:

The integration of NxP and the Kardex robot delivered transformational results for Church Pharmacy:

• 10x Productivity Increase: Staff efficiency soared due to automation of repetitive, time-consuming tasks.
• Significant Cost Savings: Operational costs were drastically reduced thanks to optimized workflows and decreased manual effort.
• Enhanced Inventory Management: With real-time updates and automated processes, Church Pharmacy gained full control over inventory, minimizing errors and stock discrepancies.

Client Testimonial: “Finally, after everything was done and we started using Kardex in our warehouses, the productivity of our staff increased by at least 10x and we also saved a lot of operational costs. I take the liberty to say this on my company’s behalf but honestly, if you are venturing into something totally new, or looking to invest in a truly innovative product, there is no competition in the market that matches Space Stem’s technical expertise.”

With the success of NxP, Space Stem continues to innovate and provide smart warehouse management solutions, driving efficiency and profitability for businesses.
