Casey's General Stores Selects Softeon WMS To Increase Distribution Efficiency

Softeon selection based on advanced technology platform to support rapid business growth

Softeon, provider of the industry's most functionally-rich supply chain software, announced this week that Casey’s General Stores, a leading convenience store with over 1,780 locations in 14 Midwestern states, has selected Softeon’s Warehouse Management System (WMS), Load Planning, Yard Management, and Labor Management to improve efficiency and accuracy of its DC operations and drive additional throughput from existing DCs to enable them to support addition of new retail stores in the same physical footprint.

“The Softeon WMS solution will streamline the entire supply chain from receipt of product at the distribution center through delivery to the stores.  Increasing visibility into real-time inventory will allow us to better plan picking of store orders from a range of food, beverages, tobacco products, health and beauty aids, automotive products, and other nonfood items,” said Bill Walljasper, Senior VP & CFO, Casey’s. “In addition, the solution will automate processes to improve truck load planning for weekly store replenishments that are currently in excess of 350 stores on an average of 47 routes per day.”

“We are honored to be selected by Casey’s as a key supply chain partner in their exciting time of growth,” said Gana Govind, President, Softeon. “Casey’s has a laser focus on both customer service and distribution cost management, and Softeon is pleased to provide supply chain software tools that will support them in this journey.”

This announcement continues a pattern of major customer wins for Softeon, especially in distribution-intensive industries. No other supply chain execution provider can link distribution center management solutions (WMS) with high performance delivery truck loading and routing optimization in one integrated system.

Recent customer wins for Softeon besides Casey’s/retail include logistics leaders in high tech, media distribution, third-party logistics, beverage, ecommerce and more.
