Buyers Products Boosts Productivity and Service

Inefficient, labor-intensive processes and tremendous growth challenged Buyers Products’ supply chain operations. Buyers’ goal was to implement an automated warehouse management system. The company had previously used manual, paper-based processes, so all data had to be keypunched, resulting in a labor-intensive, inefficient process. Buyers needed to significantly increase efficiency to better manage its growing inventory and flow of product through a significantly larger distribution center. In addition, Buyers’ customers were increasingly requesting more services and documentation, including EDI capability, compliance labeling and advance ship notices (ASNs).
