The joint work of the two teams allowed everyone to fully understand the diversity of the products and to cross-reference the analysis results with various flow and space optimization solutions. The Progima team developed innovative and cost-effective solutions in the short term. An optimal layout has been designed to simplify flows and promote growth, taking into account a possible move.
Camellia Sinensis has been established in Québec since 1998, and specializes in superior quality teas from China, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam and Japan. The company is among the top three distributors of premium teas in North America and won Best Tea Shop and Best Tea E-Commerce Site at the World Tea Awards held in Las Vegas in 2018.
"From the start of our collaboration, the Progima team understood our vision for the company's development. We had considered obtaining support to be able to design a new factory, but as a bonus, we managed to achieve immediate gains in our current operations. Great team work!"
