Plaisio (Greece)

  • Profile

    Founded in 1969, Plaisio Computers SA is the leading retailer for office products, consumer electronics and IT products in Greece. Their products are distributed across 24 wholly owned stores throughout the country as well as Bulgaria

  • Challenge

    One of the biggest challenges Plaisio faced was having to manage the organisation across five main distribution centres in different locations, with each of these warehouses serving different product ranges. A step change was needed, and Plaisio’s president and CEO, Mr. George Gerardos, made the decision to invest in the biggest, state of the art distribution centre in Greece, housing all of their offices and operations under one roof.
  • "When the president of Plaisio contacted SAP AG to identify the best SAP Supply Chain skills in the market, he was referred to SAP UK, and then to Rocket Consulting," Costas Stavroulakis, Plaisio’s Project Manager.
