SPANISH home decoration and do-it-yourself (DIY) company, AKI, has extended for three years and expanded the scope of its existing contract with CEVA Logistics in support of its plans to open 13 more stores between now and 2019.
The supply chain management company has worked with AKI since 2010 and today it has a dedicated team of 100 employees who operate a 30,000-square metre centralised, multi-user hub for the company at Ontigola, Spain. From there it receives, picks, handles, prepares orders and distributes a wide range of stock from the smallest light bulb through to a full range of garden furniture.
To further support the expansion of the business, CEVA has begun implementation of an e-commerce service for AKI in addition to the 35 stores it already supplies around Spain. It has also opened an additional facility at Ocana, where it will dedicate 5,000 square metres to cater for further growth in the AKI service offering, such as the opening of several urban stores, a new concept by AKI, in the coming years.
"The great advantage of managing both distribution channels is that we can cross-reference information and therefore implement highly accurate stock control for both the retail and online sides of AKI's business," said CEVA's Iberian managing director Marco Galbusera.
