Warehouse management, around since Phoenicians kept track of inventory on clay tablets, are often heart and soul of a company’s ability to perform.

 

Leaving clay tablets long behind, today’s Supply Chain pros look for a sophisticated WMS that meets demanding needs and fits budgets.

 

Four diverse companies found their answers in the Priya WMS from Motek, Inc.:

 

Serec, a Los Angeles based provider of fulfillment, retail compliance, import distribution and warehousing services, needed to upgrade its 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse while keeping its near 100% compliance record intact.

 

Spire Group LTD, a third-party public refrigerated warehouse operation with over 20 locations in North America, Eastern Europe and Asia, needed an integrated WMS it could install around the globe.

 

Railex LLC, a new division of Andrew and Sons and parent company of a network of national produce distribution firms, needed beefed up inventory management to move produce distribution away from trucks and onto railcars.

 

J&B Cold Storage, subsidiary of J&B Group, a perishable food maker and distributor for the retail and foodservice industries, needed a WMS to fully automate its cold storage facility in St. Michael, MN.

 

All four companies made it a pretty good first quarter of 2007 for Motek, Inc. by choosing the Motek Priya WMS system.

 

Priya’s platform is Microsoft Windows. “Priya is the only Tier 1 Microsoft Windows based WMS available today,” Motek claims.

 

Bill Dettmann, Director of IT for J&B Group, said, “We wanted to improve customer services and utilize our WMS system as a tool to minimize customer phone inquiries and allow them to access information through the web. This required an RF-based system that would provide real-time information.” Priya filled the bill.

 

Woody Dunkum, director of operations at Railex, said: “Priya reduces warehouse time by providing a unique and efficient cross-dock feature and precisely tracks inventory by giving us specific information by lot, pallet and/or location. The powerful Priya WMS is an integral part of our process.”

 

 

Robb Lockie, Director of IT for Everest Cold Storage, said the company’s goal “of building smart warehouses requires a state-of-the-art WMS that can be easily replicated in multiple languages and locations across our rapidly growing global customer base quickly, easily and reliably. We believe Priya and Motek’s in-depth understanding of our business will help us meet our goal and position us for strong future growth.”

 

Ed Nelsas, operations manager for Serec, explains: “Priya’s fundamental design gives us the ability to quickly and easily interface to our client’s EDI systems without relying on an outside consultant.”
