Arvato SCM Solutions has been a partner of Oriflame in China for four years, operating three distribution centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

In addition to the outstanding cooperation, the improvement of logistical efficiency was praised. For this purpose, the warehouse relocations in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzen were initially completed, offering a total of five times more floor space than the former locations and thus making it possible to react flexibly to Oriflame's constant growth in volume.

Both companies have invested in upgrading the pick-by-light line in Beijing and Shanghai to optimize the flow of goods. The order management system and the selection and management of the transportation carriers were also improved which has shortened the average delivery time by eleven percent. "We are very pleased that we were able to convince Oriflame with our performance and we are confident that we can continue to support their future growth strategy in China," says Li Zhang, Senior Director at Arvato SCM Solutions in China.
