P&O Ferrymasters has formulated a strategic five-year plan, called Port Centric strategy. Warehousing will be its own core activity again; until recently, warehousing was purchased from partners. P&O Ferrymasters is now broadening its base and in this way generating an additional source of income.

Port Centric Warehousing

Meanwhile, P&O Ferrymasters has opened a warehouse in Rotterdam Europoort and a warehouse in the United Kingdom, close to London. The 2 warehouses have now been largely filled with goods from various customers. The storage amount is now at around 600,000 units on an annual basis. The starting point of the Port Centric strategy is to achieve a growth of 5 to 10% per year by widening the activities. So far P&O Ferrymasters is on track.

To gain real-time insight into the warehouses, P&O Ferrymasters started looking for a Warehouse Management System. P&O Ferrymasters first compiled a long list and then a short list. They were looking for a low-threshold WMS that can be implemented quickly and that can grow with their operations. Since CORAX is a SaaS product, it can easily be scaled up and down. As the company grows, CORAX keeps the same pace.
