Ringnes reduced staffing costs by 40%

Efficient logistics requires control, insight, and effective real-time decision-making.

Ringnes is one of Norway’s largest beverage producers and part of the Carlsberg Group. Its production and logistics facilities handle large volumes of goods, deliveries, and internal transport processes every day.

As operational and logistical complexity increased, the need for better control of daily operations became clear. Management wanted greater insight into how resources were being utilized, how production and logistics affected each other, and where inefficiencies occurred in everyday operations.

The challenge: fragmented visibility in logistics operations

Before implementing Realcom’s solution, data and operational information were spread across multiple systems. Production, warehouse, and logistics teams had limited insight into each other’s activities, making it difficult to achieve a complete overview of operations.

This resulted in several challenges:

• Lack of real-time visibility into logistics flows
• Inefficient use of resources in warehousing and transport
• Difficulty identifying bottlenecks in production
• Decisions based on historical data rather than real-time insights

As production volumes increased, operational complexity also grew. It became clear that improved system support was needed to ensure efficient operations going forward.

How the solution transformed daily operations

Realcom developed a logistics and operational control solution that consolidates operational data from multiple systems into one unified platform.

The solution provides both operators and management with real-time visibility into key operational metrics. Through visual control systems and intuitive dashboards, employees can quickly identify where deviations or inefficiencies occur within the process.

Why the solution delivered results

The greatest impact of the solution comes from the combination of technology and operational insight.

By consolidating data from different areas of operations into one solution, Ringnes gained better control over the interaction between production, logistics, and staffing. This made it possible to optimize work processes and reduce unnecessary resource utilization.

The result was a more efficient operation with improved visibility into what is actually happening across the business – at all times.

Already within the first two years after implementation, Ringnes achieved a 40% reduction in staffing costs while significantly improving operational control.
