The construction of the new ROSSS warehouse allowed Berni Srl to centralise the goods flow from its 15 sales points into a single warehouse.
The main challenge faced by Berni Srl before the construction of the new warehouse was the need to develop a logistics solution that could concentrate a variety of completely different and highly customised storage systems into a single structure. The goal was to ensure optimal and highly efficient management of the material flows of its marketed products, which include a wide range of items such as flooring, wall coverings, and bathroom furniture.
This need arose from the requirement to handle items with heterogeneous characteristics, each with specific space, weight, and storage method requirements. An integrated system of such complexity not only required careful planning, but also the adoption of advanced technologies and tailor-made solutions to effectively meet the diverse operational and logistical needs of the company.
Creating an infrastructure like this represented a tough technical challenge, but above all a strategic step to improve company productivity, optimise processes, and strengthen Berni Srl’s position as a leader in the sector.
In order to achieve the goal set by the customer, ROSSS designed three different and highly customised storage systems:
– Customised internal pallet racks:
– Galvanised external pallet racks with pressed grating:
– External cantilever racks with galvanised canopy:
Thanks to these innovative solutions, Berni Srl achieved significant benefits:
With this project, Berni Srl confirms its ability to combine tradition and innovation, maintaining its status as a benchmark for the industry and its customers.
