Digital Warehouse for DTEK Energy: Innovations in Logistics and Inventory Management

Logistics are the arteries of society and business through which the vital flow of goods, services, and information moves. Now Ukraine especially understands its importance.

The implementation of effective logistics solutions in the modern world can solve the most difficult problems, help companies adapt to rapidly changing market conditions.

DTEK Energy, together with the IT company MODUS X, implemented the Digital Warehouse solution, which is aimed at transforming procurement processes and warehouse logistics. DTEK Pavlogradugol's timber processing base was the first base with an updated approach to warehouse management.

The Digital Warehouse solution uses a number of modern technologies, including:
• Internet of Things (IoT): Sensors and devices that collect data about goods and storage conditions.
• Barcodes and RFID: Allows you to accurately track the movement of goods in a warehouse.
• Cloud computing: Provides access to data at any time and from any device.

The introduction of a digital tool helped to tie automatic photo fixation of transport and cargo to documents for a batch of timber and lumber. This will reduce tax risks by UAH 4.4 million per year. Additional savings for the company from effective logistics planning will reach 400 thousand hryvnias.

The introduction of an innovative approach to warehouse management provides greater transparency in processes thanks to a custom notification system and instant updates on the status of cargo acceptance. The integration of a digital signature using a DIGITAL PIN with the Vchasno service provides online control over the status of incoming streams.

Currently, businesses need to meet the needs of consumers quickly and efficiently. Market conditions dictate increased requirements for logistics and warehouse operations. The new approach provides the ability to automatically track and manage inventory in real-time without errors, which applies not only to the B2C but also to the B2B sector.

"Our DTEK Energy coal mining enterprises need timely deliveries of equipment and materials. The rhythmic work of mines and processing plants and the supply of fuel to the country's thermal generation depend on this. The introduction of digital technologies makes the process of ensuring production more logical and economical. We clearly understand what resources we have, what we still need, and we do not "freeze" money in the warehouse in the form of excess stocks," said Taras Dudlia, Head of the Coal Mining Services Department at DTEK Energy.

"Logistics is the art and science of achieving what you want in the right place and at the right time. We, at MODUS X, follow this approach, working on advanced solutions in the field of logistics, - says Dmytro Osyka, CEO of MODUS X. "I am grateful to our partners from DTEK Energy for the invaluable experience of cooperation and trust in our team.
