The responsible for Rotom Portugal Miguel Correia says that they have a huge range of rental solutions that are used during peak production, and “especially during COVID-19, with many DIY and ecommerce requests, namely in Smartboxes like these, but also roll containers or racks for temporary storage. Our mission is to provide companies with the means of loading necessary to improve their supply chain, making it more sustainable. It’s fantastic to find a win-win solution for the environment and the customer”.
Rotom boxes perfectly match the needs of this Leroy Merlin picking by line operation, as they allow the movement of products and very sensitive or delicate goods in an environment that allows for the necessary safety and integrity of the same.
“In this picking by line, what we see there is neither more nor less than the needs of store departments. When the order leaves the logistics center, it is destined for a given department of a certain store and the orders are prepared to go directly to the linear. With these boxes, the products travel safely, it is a transport package that has portability to reach the linear and that when returning to the logistics center, as they are foldable, they allow greater savings in transport”, explains the head of supply chain operations .
“On the other hand, this allows us a considerable improvement in the service and quality of delivery to the store. The supplies to the stores are daily, although not always for the same departments”, complements João Miranda Operations Manager Leroy Merlin.
