HighJump Software Empowers Fulfillment Systems Inc. To Effectively Support Expanded Business Model With Successful Go-Live of Supply Chain Execution Solutions
Third-Party Logistics Provider Leverages HighJump’s Robust System to Move Into Trade and Point of Sale Fulfillment Services
EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (PRWEB) October 14, 2004 -- http://www.highjumpsoftware.com - HighJump Software, a 3M
company, the global leader in providing highly adaptable, best-of-breed supply
chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced that third-party logistics
provider Fulfillment Systems Inc. (FSI) has completed a successful system
go-live. The company selected HighJump’s Supply Chain Advantage suite to manage
the expansion of its traditional direct-to-consumer fulfillment offering into
trade and point of sale business-to-business fulfillment services. FSI
implemented HighJump’s warehouse management and management visibility solutions.
With the go-live, FSI’s customers now have real-time visibility to inventory and
fulfillment requirements for their trade and point of sale programs.
With
the need to help its expanding customer base drive cost out of their supply
chain operations, FSI required a system capable of generating immediate process
efficiencies and bottom-line savings. Supply Chain Advantage accomplishes this
by integrating tightly with FSI’s online order entry system, allowing customers
to place orders remotely, monitor inventory status and achieve stronger overall
management of their supply chains. The system also empowers FSI with the
visibility and functionality required to meet customer requests for just-in-time
inventory management. FSI helps customers optimize the flow of inventory
throughout the supply chain and keep costs low with sophisticated visibility
tools and reporting functionality, as well as warehouse practices such as
cross-docking.
"The HighJump system was clearly built based on a strong
understanding of what’s needed to achieve process efficiency in the warehouse,"
said Doug Peterson, vice president of operations for FSI. "And the system’s
flexibility allows us to incorporate easily a wide range of customer requests—a
key requirement in our business. As a 3PL provider, we have to prove to our
customers that our infrastructure will result in flawless execution of their
supply chain operations. With HighJump, we can do this."
"FSI has
achieved strong benefits from its HighJump system in a short period of time,"
said Chris Heim, president of HighJump Software. "We are pleased that this
relationship is effectively leveraging our solutions to support FSI’s expanded
business model and meet growing customer requirements."
