Kinaxia Logistics is working with cloud-based supply chain software solutions provider Nulogy to future-proof its contract packing business Kinaxia Logistics & Fulfilment. Nulogy’s brief is to provide contract packing software which enhances the efficiency and scalability of Kinaxia’s co-packing business, which was formerly known as AKW Global Warehousing.

“Driving the quality of service for our customers is at the core of everything we do, so digital transformation is crucial to ensuring we scale effectively and continue to meet and exceed the high standards our customers expect. The value of data in contract packing cannot be overestimated, and so it was clear the immense potential that Nulogy’s cloud-based software could bring to enhance our operations for our customers. We look forward to working together with Nulogy to further improve our co-packing value-added services, through increased speed, accuracy, and efficiency,” said Anita Donohoe, Kinaxia group managing director of logistics and fulfilment.

In this latest deal the company is looking to future-proof its operations to meet the demands of increasing complexity, demand volatility and channel evolution by using Nulogy’s Shop Floor solution, which is tailored specifically for contract packing operations.

The solution will digitally enable the end-to-end contract packing workflow to improve planning, line efficiency, materials and inventory management, quality control and traceability. Nulogy’s cloud-based platform, which replaces a previous legacy solution, will streamline the company’s co-packing operations to drive efficiency, profitability, and service levels.

“Nulogy is delighted to be Kinaxia’s chosen provider for contract packing software. Innovative leaders such as Kinaxia understand the benefits of embracing digitalisation to manage high growth and take their organisation to the next level. As the need for resilient and agile supply chains grows, Nulogy customers are future-proofed through their digitalisation investment, delivering tangible results in efficiency, quality, sustainability, and profitability,” added Josephine Coombe, Nulogy managing director for Europe.

The solution will be integrated with Kinaxia’s warehouse management system and will enable improved levels of visibility and operational control. Kinaxia will also be able to access critical shop floor performance data and manage its processes more speedily, efficiently and accurately to the benefit of its brand customers.

Kinaxia Loghistics expanded into the co-packing sector in 2018 after acquiring AKW in 2018 and investing £7.5m in the business. Manchester-based Kinaxia Logistics & Fulfilment is capable of processing thirty million seasonal gift packs in its 100,000 sq. ft facility.
