The Challenge: Managing Specialty Chemicals & Nationwide Distribution
DKSH is a leading global distributor of specialty chemicals and formulations, serving industries such as paints, coatings, plastics, adhesives, and agrochemicals. Their operations demand precise inventory management, regulatory compliance, and seamless distribution to maintain quality and efficiency across Canada.
The company required a warehousing and logistics partner capable of handling hazardous materials, complex supply chain coordination, and real-time inventory tracking. With a diverse range of chemical products, DKSH needed a scalable, technology-driven solution to ensure compliance while optimizing costs.
The primary challenge was ensuring safe storage and efficient transportation of hazardous materials while maintaining a high level of visibility and traceability. Additionally, DKSH sought integrated IT solutions that could seamlessly connect with their existing systems, allowing for better inventory control and supply chain transparency.
The OTS Group Solution: Smart Warehousing & Logistics
OTS Group implemented a customized warehousing and distribution strategy designed to meet DKSH’s specific needs. By integrating advanced technology, compliance-driven processes, and an optimized logistics framework, we provided a secure and scalable solution.
We established specialized storage facilities designed for hazardous materials, ensuring compliance with Canadian regulations. Our warehouse management system (WMS) enabled real-time tracking, automated stock management, and lot traceability, giving DKSH full visibility over their inventory. The implementation of FIFO (First In, First Out) and FEFO (First Expired, First Out) methods further optimized stock rotation and quality control.
From a logistics standpoint, OTS Group developed a nationwide transportation strategy that ensured safe and timely delivery. With our transportation management system (TMS), we optimized delivery routes and provided real-time tracking and reporting to minimize delays and improve efficiency.
Additionally, we integrated electronic data interchange (EDI) and a live customer portal, allowing DKSH to monitor their stock, track shipments, and access performance reports in real time. This seamless IT integration ensured faster decision-making and enhanced supply chain transparency.
The Results: A Reliable, Compliant, & Scalable Solution
By partnering with OTS Group, DKSH transformed its warehousing and distribution operations into a streamlined, technology-driven system. Our WMS and TMS integration improved inventory accuracy and shipment efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance for hazardous goods.
With optimized storage solutions and real-time inventory tracking, DKSH significantly reduced operational costs and risks associated with specialty chemicals. The ability to scale operations efficiently allowed them to meet growing demand without compromising safety or service quality.
