A New Warehouse Management System
Aiming to specialize in the outdoor sports industry, ITS Logistics finds it essential to swap out its WMS, while simultaneously retooling key processes at two Nevada distribution centers.

One Excellent Wireless Replenishment Solution, A Lot of Moving Parts
Challenge: Our client manufactures six different varieties of transmissions totaling more than one million units per year for several global automotive brands. Serving their broadly dispersed and diverse customer base requires the constant movement of many different parts to the assembly area, which must be well orchestrated to avoid delays associated with excess movement, or the cost associated with storing excess work-in-process inventory.
Soft Drinks Leader Sips Up Savings - New Warehouse Management Control Software
Challenge: A worldwide leader in the soft drink industry recently installed a Westfalia Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) with Savanna.NET ® Warehouse Management Control Software (WMC) at their plant in Tampa, FL. Chief among the objectives of this facility expansion, besides maximizing storage space with the high density AS/RS, is to build store ready pallets.
Major Foodservice Distributor Commands Voice Picking Operations Via Central Server
Challenge: Voxware helped a major foodservice distributor with 18 DCs manage their voice picking operations from one centralized server. This allows the workers to get products out the door without being burdened with IT-related tasks.
Voice-Centric Solution Maximizes Both Operational and Employee Efficiency
Challenge: This small global company has a very complex supply chain, with many small warehouse locations. It needed to realize efficiencies by standardizing workflows across many distribution sites. At the same time, like many businesses, it needed to expand its brand while containing costs. Further, any solution the company deployed would have to handle a wide variety of cultures and languages.
Retailer Picks an ROI Winner With New Voice Based Picking Solution
Challenge: Our client, a retail chain with over 70 stores, needed to improve the accuracy of its paper-based order picking operations and improve their picking error rate at their distribution center. Their research of technologies led them to Voice based picking solutions. From there they evaluated three vendors' voice based picking solutions via three week pilot programs with each solution and compiled the productivity and accuracy statistics.
Seamless Roll-Out: From Centralized Inventory Management to Globalized Aftermarket Supply Chain
Challenge: In the construction equipment industry, service parts availability is critical. Before working with Syncron, our client's dealer supply chain was fragmented with each dealer being responsible for their own inventory management. It was difficult for our client to get visibility or control of the supply chain to ensure high service levels for their end-customers, with inventory overstocking, obsolescence and emergency orders creating huge unnecessary costs.
SaaS WMS for High-Tech Start-up: Faster Implementation, Minimized Up-Front Investment
Challenge: When a start-up company needed to be receiving and shipping in less than a week, they turned to SphereWMS. Our client, a distributor of telecom equipment who landed a big contract, required life-cycle serial number control in multiple warehouses in several countries.
On-Demand WMS Gives Retailer Optimized Visibility with Minimized Cost
Challenge: Our retail client has been operating their logistics network with 5 distribution centers (DC) across the country to support their stores: one main, centralized DC and 4 regional DCs (RDC). Due to the disparity of the warehouse management solutions (WMS) used by all the DCs, there was no real time visibility across the network to manage inventory and outbound orders. Because their operations were centralized at the main DC, they incurred unnecessary transportation and labor costs.
Tier 1 Wholesaler Adopts DC Expert Planning Tool, Saves $2M
Challenge: Insight was engaged by a tier 1 wholesaler of convenience store products to help reduce costs and gain efficiencies in the operation.
Online Retailer Makes Millions with New Automated WMS
Challenge: An online retailer was growing quickly. Its homegrown warehouse management system (WMS) was error prone and inefficient. The warehouse team was picking orders using just a piece of paper. In order to keep up with the growth and stay true to its commitment to customer service, the company invested in a WMS from HighJump Software. Management was looking for a highly adaptable, comprehensive and automated system that could be quickly implemented to boost efficiency and accuracy.
Optimized Network Configuration Creates Higher Efficiency, Lower Operating Costs
Challenge: Our client was facing consecutive increasing operational costs over the last two years; executive management needed a clear picture on how to turn this trend around.
