Ballantynes Inventory Management
Case Study for Inventory and Stock Management for leading New Zealand department store Ballantynes & Co.
Ballantynes was established in 1854 and is one of the South Islands leading department stores.
The challenge Ballantynes faced was receipting and pricing orders from thousands of suppliers, as well as carrying out vital bar-code linking with Ballantynes ERP system and quality control functions, all within valuable retail space. Online Distribution Services stepped in to take the entire logistical and warehousing function away from the Christchurch store, and now perform all checking, linking, and pricing functions offsite, freeing up valuable human resource and retail space.
