WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (WMS):
Our expertise with warehouse management systems comes from managing hundreds of system implementations. Our success is based on our proven implementation methodology that provides clients with predictable costs and empowers them to succeed.

WMS HOSTING:
A successful implementation can be undermined if a company is not able to support the WMS after implementation. Clients can relax knowing their WMS infrastructure and applications are fully managed around the clock at our world class data center. We provide redundant communication networks, a secure facility with fire protection, automated data backups, and server software updates.

LOGISTICS NETWORK STRATEGY:
Using our advanced toolsets and knowledge of best practices, we work with clients to determine the right number and size of distribution facilities. Our driving goal is to find the optimal levels of logistics costs, facility costs, and inventory investment, while meeting or exceeding customer service requirements.

OUTSOURCING STRATEGY:
We help you analyze the potential value of outsourcing while advising you how to manage a 3PL relationship.

OPERATION ASSESSMENT:
When evaluating the effectiveness of an operation, we start by exploring the overall company objectives to understand how well the operations support these goals. Then we assess people utilization, business processes efficiency and deployed technology to mine for opportunities and develop a case for change.

WAREHOUSE LAYOUT DESIGN:
Having reengineered hundreds of distribution facilities provides us with a database of best practices and benchmarks. Leveraging these tools and our design methodology; we work with clients to design lean distribution processes that achieve efficient product and information flows, support on time and accurate customer order fulfillment, and maximize the return on the distribution assets: facilities, equipment and systems.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Business leaders of companies on the move are challenged to achieve increasing performance levels from their business operations. They realize that holistic management of the entire supply chain differentiates their business in the marketplace. The once separate functions of engineering, procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and sales must organize themselves around common strategies and focus on end-to-end alignment of the supply chain. Once achieved, world-class supply chain performance creates significant value through revenue enhancement, working capital reduction, and cost reduction.

We view supply chain management as the systematic integration of the major supply chain components to synchronize supply with customer demand. Components of an integrated supply chain include a company’s strategy, business processes, technology and organization.
