Supermarché MATCH Optimizes Warehouse Processes with Honeywell CT60 XP
Supermarché MATCH, a multinational supermarket chain with over 220 stores in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, has optimized its warehouse processes and supply chain to meet growing customer demands. By implementing the Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) methodology, MATCH maximizes every square meter of warehouse space, improving inventory management and order picking efficiency.
The VNA warehouse model places special emphasis on organizing the order picking process and redesigning picking locations to reduce travel distances. MATCH began researching a long-term solution to automate their manual inventory system and optimize workflow.
Challenge and requirements
MATCH was looking for an all-in-one device that was ergonomic, durable, and versatile. It needed to:
- Be robust and user-friendly
- Feature a full-touch interface and be portable
- Scan barcodes over long distances (up to 10 meters)
- Be compatible with their warehouse management system (Openbravo)
- Support use across three shifts, from inventory receipt to distribution
The goal was to increase productivity, optimize workflow, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).
The Solution: Honeywell CT60 XP with Mobility Edge™
After extensive consultation with Honeywell partner Reverse IT, MATCH chose the CT60 XP. Reverse IT supported MATCH in selecting the right device, advising on configurations (wearable, handheld, or scan-gun), and ensuring a fast, seamless implementation.
- Versatile: usable as a wearable, handheld, or scan-gun
- Durable: built for intensive warehouse use
- Compatible: seamless integration with Openbravo WMS
- Efficient: real-time inventory and productivity monitoring
- Android-based: future-proof and easy to deploy
Results and benefits
With the CT60 XP, MATCH can:
- Maximize every square meter of the VNA warehouse
- Speed up inventory management and order picking
- Monitor employee productivity in real time
- Work flexibly and future-proof with a single device across three shifts
Thanks to Reverse IT’s expertise, task management functions and prioritization were optimally configured, giving employees an automatic overview of priorities and optimal picking routes. This accelerates the order picking process, reduces errors, and increases overall warehouse productivity.
