Kuehne+Nagel and Unilever use Mendix to streamline supply chain process

  •  

Business challenges solved by Mendix:

  • Stand-alone Order Management Portal capable of exchanging data with external systems

  • Improved efficiency reduces Unilever’s administrative workload

  • Improved customer service with increased reliability and timely delivery information

The Order Management Portal, which has the Kuehne + Nagel house-style with its familiar look and feel, went live in April of 2009. It was delivered in six months and within budget. Unilever sends its orders to Kuehne + Nagel Logistics’ warehouse management system in the form of standard electronic data interchange (EDI) messages. Following some initial processing, the system sends the Portal order details and related current stock-levels input to the automated allocation process.
