Case Study: Achieve Rapid Payback With WMS

By Erin Harris, Integrated Solutions For Retailers magazine

Supply chain execution is no longer an afterthought in retail. Today, retail executives view effective supply chain execution as a key strategy, which is critical to growth and customer satisfaction. Subsequently, supply chain execution is becoming more complex. More and more distribution centers are expected to handle huge volume increases, and they may be expected to ship direct to retailers as well as bulk orders through their traditional channels. The rise of the Internet has had an impact on supply chain execution by allowing for the faster exchange of information within an enterprise and across the entire supply chain. With this faster exchange of supply chain data, manufacturers and distributors are able to respond to changes in customer demand and quickly collaborate with their trading partners, while also increasing the efficiency of their own operations. That is why an efficient WMS is critical to optimize supply chain execution and meet your customer's ever-changing needs.
