If normally with a large warehouse like this, the company must hire 400-500 employees, but with this automated process the number of employees is only about a quarter of the participants. Automated sorting warehouses not only help reduce the number of employees, but also help the Company increase product classification capacity, optimize costs and stabilize service quality for consumers.

The normal process of GHN will be to receiving orders from customers (stores), then to the sorting warehouse, then to the nationwide forwarding warehouse to deliver the goods to the buyers.

Goods received from the store are packed into bags by GHN. Staff at the warehouse unpacked, put on the line in the warehouse classification. In the middle of each line, there will be staff to put the goods back in the right way, so that the order code is facing up so that the sensor can read the menu code, the system will automatically sort each item to put into bags either. When the bags are full, staff will close the package to deliver.

The machines and equipment are imported from abroad by the Company, but the main control software has been adjusted by the Company staff to suit the actual needs. The total investment value for this automated sorting system is about USD 2 million. Earlier, GHN opened a similar warehouse in Hanoi with an area of ​​4,000 m2 but only one floor, with a maximum capacity of 30 thousand applications / hour.

Luong Duy Hoai, Cofounder and CEO of GHN, said that this automated sorting warehouse is only a small part of the company’s warehouse development plan. GHN’s Ho Chi Minh City has led the market, but we will continue to invest more to lead in other areas of logistics ”, Mr. Hoai said.
