Part of the multinational Saint-Gobain group, Okarno’s vision is to create a competitive distribution network with the highest levels of customer service.
Okarno (formerly known as Artex) provides a vast array of builder’s merchants, decorating centres and DIY stores up and down the country with a tailor-made 500+ product offering to suit their individual needs. This includes offering flexible, multi-drop distribution and delivery services, which allow customers to order the exact products and quantities they need starting from as little as a half a pallet of mixed products. Okarno also offers 24-hour turnaround express delivery services for parcels of select products weighing up to 25kg, which are delivered according to a timed booking slot.
Correct fit for our future business
“After a careful review of all the available solutions, we believe that Indigo WMS offers the correct fit for our future business.”
Kelvin Phipps, Systems and Process Development Manager, Okarno
Highly intuitive user experience
Two of the deciding factors in selecting Indigo WMS were the software’s highly intuitive user experience – especially for new WMS system users – and Indigo’s strong track record of completing seamless implementations, with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Indigo will be fully integrated with SAP for the seamless exchange of customer data and incoming sales orders with pick and dispatch processes. This will include extracting real-time feeds from SAP and pushing ‘confirmation of completion’ data back, once the end to end logistics process is complete.
