Project

Folkstar is a chain of stores specializing in Polish folk art and souvenirs, offering traditional handicrafts, decorations, ceramics, folk costumes, and many other products based on folk patterns from Łowicz and other regions of Poland, including Kaszuby, Kurpie, Podhale, Kujawy, and Opole.

The Quick Check, an expert audit carried out by Witold Bachaj, involved reviewing and evaluating the current warehouse logistics to develop relevant recommendations in the short and medium term. Areas examined included:

  • Warehouse processes and operations
  • Structure, information flow, standards and procedures
  • IT system
  • Purchasing processes and operations

The result was a set of recommendations, presented in the form of a roadmap spread over time, to prepare Folkstar’s warehouse logistics for development.

The specification for selecting a WMS (Warehouse Management System), led by Kazimierz Grabowski, as a result of the Quick Check, involved mapping out processes and defining “must-have” and “nice-to-have” requirements for the future system. Such a specification serves as the basis for launching an efficient tendering process.
