The following information was shared about the projects and the awards received:
More agile decision-making mechanisms with Smart Shipment
The Smart Shipment project was honored with one first place and one third place at the IDC Turkey CIO Awards. Smart Shipment, which won first place in the ‘IT Cost Efficiency’ category, also placed third in the ‘Future of Work – Work Enablement’ category. Smart Shipment strengthens the artificial intelligence and decision support systems that allow stores to best manage their stock, capacity and occupancy, particularly during season transitions, while ensuring that shipments are created and approved automatically. With this system, the company has a more profitable and faster structure, and with the Smart Shipment Project it received its 4th award this year across 3 different award ceremonies.
Preparing marketplace product content is easier
Marketplace Product Content Management, another project developed by the DeFacto IT team, won first place in the ‘Business Enablement’ category at the IDC Turkey CIO Awards, receiving its 2nd award this year across the 2 award ceremonies it entered. With this project, users now prepare in a maximum of 1 hour a list that previously took about 10 days, saving both cost and time. The Zone Picking and Automatic Sorting Device Integration project took third place in the ‘IT Cost Efficiency’ category. Within the scope of the project, picking tasks are distributed to warehouse users not on an order basis but to pick a specific zone. With this method, instead of picking a specific order, users move along their walking route collecting the products belonging to all orders that need to be picked along the way.
The Click & Collect from Nearest Store project took third place in the ‘Customer Experience’ category. With this project, customers can select the store closest to them on the website and quickly place an order from the products in that store. They can then go to the store where they placed the order and collect the products on the same day. It is also possible for the ordered products to be delivered to the customer by courier from the store within 24 hours.
At the event held online on 8 April due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tayfun Tunç and Semih Bahar, who received the awards on behalf of DeFacto CIO Cengiz Gürer, talked about the development process of the projects and their contributions to the company. They also emphasized that the awards crowning the company’s advances in being a technological retail company encourage them regarding future strategies.
