Store Performance

Industrial central warehouse performance: optimise your flows with connected lockers

Automate your receptions, extend store hours, reduce waits, streamline withdrawals and improve the traceability of your internal flows thanks to BLIC’s connected lockers.

Your central warehouse becomes an autonomous distribution system that can be accessed at any time, secure and controllable.

The limits of a traditional central store

A central store under pressure

The industrial central warehouse plays a key role in the continuity of production and maintenance, especially for the provision of internal orders and parcels. Yet, in many locations, there is still a sticking point.

Saturation of the store counter
Time-consuming information and reminders
Constant interruptions by warehouse workers
Difficulty absorbing peaks in activity

These malfunctions have a direct impact on industrial productivity and internal logistics performance, whereas a connected locker solution makes it possible to streamline flows, automate the provision and secure each parcel.

Teams waiting to recover equipment: a model to be modernised

An operation based solely on hand-in-the-counter quickly reaches its limits in the face of the responsiveness requirements of industrial sites.

The teams are waiting to collect parts that are available
Withdrawals depend on opening hours
Night shifts or shifts are penalized
As a result, the central warehouse becomes an operational obstacle.

With a connected locker solution (connected locker, smart locker or smart lockers), equipment and parcels are made available in self-service in secure lockers, accessible 24/7, without depending on the store teams.

Essential traceability to ensure performance and safety

The provision of orders and parcels is a major issue in terms of security and logistical performance.

Frequent losses and thefts
Recurring friction between teams
Difficulty accurately tracking material removals
Lack of traceability of internal flows

The lack of reliable traceability limits the management of operations, whereas a smart locker solution makes it possible to ensure precise monitoring of deposits and withdrawals, to secure each locker and to optimize the management of deliveries and equipment.

Solution: digitize your central store with BLIC

Digitize your central store with BLIC connected lockers

BLIC connected lockers allow internal and external orders as well as parcels to be received and automated from the central warehouse.

They transform the store into an autonomous pick-up system, capable of managing simple pick-ups, consumables and available parts, without being permanently dependent on the store counter.

The objective is not to replace the central warehouse, but to make its operation as a pick-up more fluid. Teams easily access material via secure lockers available 24/7, while warehouse workers focus on higher value-added tasks.

You transform your store into an autonomous pick-up system, without removing its strategic role.

A simple principle for store teams

The store retains its preparation role, but receipts and collections no longer depend solely on the warehouse staff.

Once the internal order has been prepared, the material is deposited in a secure locker. The user then receives a notification by SMS or email, then retrieves his equipment independently.

Each withdrawal is automatically traced, which allows you to maintain complete visibility on flows and to accurately track material movements.

Each external delivery is deposited directly in the BLIC which informs the recipient.

Automate withdrawals without disrupting your central store

BLIC automates simple withdrawals with a connected locker, while keeping the central store at the heart of your organization.

This connected locker solution (smart lockers, connected lockers or smart lockers) reduces unnecessary visits to the counter, limits repeated interruptions for warehouse workers and streamlines the management of orders and parcels.

Users gain autonomy by accessing secure lockers to retrieve their equipment, without time constraints or dependence on store teams.

Flows become easier to manage, with an autonomous, secure and traceable collection point, directly integrated into the operation of the central warehouse.

Automating withdrawals and receipts, controlling flows

Concrete uses to streamline withdrawals

BLIC connected lockers can be adapted to many uses in an industrial environment: distribution of spare parts, management of consumables, provision of tools, PPE, office automation, etc. Off-hours withdrawals, management of service flows and multi-site internal logistics.

By automating simple withdrawals, BLIC helps reduce queues, better distribute withdrawals, and minimize interruptions at the counter. Teams gain faster access to materials, while the central store remains organized and available for higher-value tasks.

Internal flows become simpler, smoother and better distributed.

Complete visibility of store flows

With an industrial connected locker, every deposit and withdrawal can be accurately tracked. You get a history of withdrawals, user identification, tracking of pickup schedules and better visibility into internal flows.

This traceability makes it possible to reduce disputes and to better manage the activity of the central store. Before, teams faced counter waits, uncontrolled flows, frequent interruptions, and limited visibility. After that, withdrawals become autonomous, flows are fluidified, the organization is optimized and traceability becomes complete.

Traceability is becoming a real management tool.

A solution designed for demanding environments

BLIC offers connected lockers designed for industrial sites, logistics platforms, construction sites and demanding environments. The solution is based on scalable modules, a 4G, Wi-Fi or local network connection, management via the MyBlic platform and access security designed for simple integration into your processes.

For the store manager, BLIC brings less pressure to the counter, better organization and better flow management. For maintenance and production teams, the solution saves time, provides quick access to equipment and more autonomy. For management, it helps to improve productivity, reduce hidden costs and strengthen control of internal flows.

A solution dedicated to industrial logistics, with rapid deployment, simple adoption by teams and a rapid ROI on internal flows.
