Metsec’s vision was ambitious: develop an advanced warehousing infrastructure that would deliver new levels of control and efficiency. This wasn’t just about technology – it was about maintaining a competitive edge in an industry where precision and timing are everything.
The project required expertise across multiple technology manufacturers and the ability to integrate diverse solutions into one cohesive system. As a company that processes around 20 orders per month and requires daily IT procurement, Metsec needed a partner who could handle both complex strategic projects and day-to-day operational needs.
Drawing on our long-standing partnership – and a dedicated account manager who’s been with Metsec from the start – we approached this challenge with deep knowledge of the client’s operations and culture. Our account manager coordinated extensive resources, from initial discussions with technology specialists to equipment demonstrations and trials.
We developed a comprehensive multi-manufacturer solution built on Motorola barcode scanners and Zebra label printers. The objective wasn’t to force a single-vendor approach but to select the best technology for each specific requirement and integrate them seamlessly.
From there, our team arranged specialist pricing agreements and managed the entire procurement process. It meant that Metsec could focus on its core manufacturing business while we handled the technological complexity.
The warehouse transformation delivered the advanced control and efficiency Metsec had hoped for. Its operations now benefit from leading-edge technology that supports its precision manufacturing processes and enhances its ability to deliver on-time and in-full to customers worldwide.
As Metsec reflected: “In the years we’ve worked with Advania, a lot has happened. But their enthusiasm, innovation, and support has always stayed the same.”
The consistency of our partnership – particularly maintaining the same account manager – has created deep understanding that translates into exceptional results.
This project exemplifies how strategic IT partnerships can enhance manufacturing excellence, providing Metsec with the technological foundation needed to maintain its position as industry leaders.
Thanks to the insights of our dedicated account manager, we approached this challenge with deep knowledge of the client’s operations and culture.
With expertise across multiple technology manufacturers, we were able to handle both complex strategic projects and day-to-day operational needs.
More than just a hardware upgrade, we designed a solution based on our workshop findings and built on HP Server and Storage with VMware virtualisation technology.
Our long-term partnership approach means we invest in understanding your business deeply enough to engineer solutions that truly enhance your operational excellence. Let’s discuss how we can support your next advancement.
