Specialist in industrial tooling solutions, YG-1 is an internationally renowned company with multiple R&D centers, production units, sales offices and logistics warehouses worldwide. .
The YG1 group has been established in France for several years. In order to support its French subsidiary in the modernization of its logistics platform, located in Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes in the Paris region, the South Korean company has chosen to rely on the know-how of Savoye.
In 2018, YG-1, a major player in the cutting tool industry, launched a call for tenders to provide its Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes site with a warehouse management tool. In the first quarter of 2021, the warehouse manually processed approximately 8,000 references from a catalog of 50,000, both own brand and white label. The South Korean company wishes to equip itself with a WMS system capable of securing its stocks, ensuring reference management but also of optimizing and making the preparation of orders more reliable, while improving inventories.
