Nowodworski products can be purchased in the following chains: CASTORAMA, OBI, PRAKTIKER, BLACK RED WHITE and in good lighting stores throughout the country.
A large number of shipments per day and a wide range of goods resulted in the bottleneck in customer service being the process of picking and forwarding shipments in the warehouse.

- optimization of warehouse workers’ work
- providing reliable information about the stock of goods in the warehouse
- optimization of goods arrangement in the warehouse
- optimization of warehouse stocking
- efficient handling of special products
- improving communication with the company’s sales department,
- providing an analysis of the work of warehouse workers
