Softeon Announces Successful Implementation of WMS for Tastefully Simple, Inc.
06.02.2012
Tastefully Simple now has the ability to easily and immediately set rules to meet current operation requirements
Softeon and Tastefully Simple Incorporated have implemented the Softeon Warehouse Management System (WMS) at the Tastefully Simple distribution center located in Alexandria, MN. Tastefully Simple is a distributor of easy-to-prepare food, ship from 10,000 to 20,000 small parcels each day and kitting is a major function of the operation. The WMS is controlling the distribution effort from receipt of product through fulfillment of an order to Tastefully Simple's clients and 28,000 consultants. Fulfilling the orders occurs through a pick to light system with four lines, each configurable to specific order profiles.
Vice President of Operations Joe Smoliga said, "We are extremely impressed with the performance of Softeon and their WMS. Their solution is user friendly and rules driven which allows us to configure the system to meet our ever-changing business requirements. For instance, the first 30 days after go-live we performed more simple configurations that had major process impact than we did in our old WMS in five years. With Softeon, the flexible options are nearly endless. With Softeon, we have a partner with broad industry and process experience providing our team opportunities for improvements we did not have before. Softeon personnel rolled up their sleeves and worked side by side with our personnel. Softeon is a true partner; they are there for us. Softeon provided a fixed price for software and implementation and that is exactly what we paid. We are very pleased to have Softeon as our business partner."
Gana Govind, President of Softeon said, "Softeon is very happy to have Tastefully Simple as one of our business partners. We know that the system will meet and exceed the expectations of Tastefully Simple. Softeon has a proven approach and the technology platform that reduces the time, cost and risk of implementation. Our implementations are accomplished by building a team between Softeon and our business partner. We are very appreciative of the time and effort by the Tastefully Simple team and look forward to a long partnership."
