Note: Darkstore: For Lisbon and Porto area, the company has developed a dark-store from which fulfils the orders. The darkstore acts essentially as a supermarket (exclusive to eCommerce)
dedicated to pickers. Its assortment its composed by the 80% of the items generally present at every order. On this model, the remaining 20% (“long-tail”) is fulfilled at the nearest hypermarket
with the same process (support store).
Use Case Business Scenario
                                             Main challenges

Through its large scale, yet centralized setup, SONAE still faces challenges with respect to:

     Orders’ fulfilment (stockouts)

     High costs of picking and delivering,

     Local urban transport, and their side-effects (e.g. CO2 emissions, congestion)

     Lead times

     COVID-19 (new)
Development of new fulfilment models
Ability to suggest the most efficient way to fulfill an order

         Cost                       Stock-Out                     Lead time

      DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS SCENARIOS AND PI RESEARCH
                 1. Decentralized Order Preparation and Delivery

    2. Multiple Company Scenario including other businesses (e.g. Wells, KASA, ZU)

      3. Integrated and standardized store stock information (Networking)

          4. Back end service for road network discovery (Networking)

LL3 - e-Commerce centric PI Network
                                        Simulation Scenario

● The objective of this simulation model is to measure and
  evaluate the impact of the PI framework in the fulfillment
  process and operational cost, in an urban distribution
  environment.
● Explore the benefits of sharing logistics assets (transport,
  warehouse) in the eCommerce.
● Evaluation of different operative alternatives: Preparation
  (Centralized/In Store) & delivery (In Store/Pick-up Point/Home
  Delivery)
● Integration with ICONET Services (Networking, Routing,
  Shipping services..)
● Evaluation of impact in transport efficiency and stock-outs.

Dynamic Simulation Models

 ● Representation of retail supply chain with
   Physical Internet components.

  Simulation model Components:
    ● Customers (shown in blue)
    ● Stores (shown in yellow)
    ● Central warehouse (shown in green)

  Model Scope: 7 stores and 80 customers. (Porto area)

LL3 - e-Commerce centric PI Network
                                     Simulation Scenario
Scenario definition:
 ● Scenario 1. Local fulfilment
     ○ Orders are delivered from the store to the
          customers depending on their postal
          code.
 ● Scenario 2. PI Network fulfilment
     ○ The assignment of shops is made
          according to criteria of proximity and
          stock. (PI Services)

                                                    ●   Although in the second scenario the routes are longer and lead time increases by
                                                        30%, the vans are 29% fuller.
                                                    ●   Transport costs hardly increase by 1%, it is compensated by a lower activation cost
                                                        (two less vans are needed).
                                                    ●   Finally, since 25% more orders are completed, the total cost per order is 24%
                                                        lower.
