Advanced Warehouse Management System Satisfies Growing E-Commerce Needs Of Third Party Fulfillment Firm |
|
DOTcom Distribution Corp. has installed the IRMS Warehouse Management System developed by Integrated Warehousing Solutions into their Edison, NJ distribution facility. Strategically, the IRMS system will improve the flexibility of their full service fulfillment and logistics operations in serving e-commerce customers.
John W. Polis, DOTcom Distribution's Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, cites "modularity" as a key factor in selecting the state-of-the-art IRMS system, which becomes fully operational during the second quarter of 2000. Polis goes on to say that projected throughput for the company's Edison facility will be approximately 13 million units during the first full year of operation.
"IRMS offers us the flexibility essential to meet the incredibly diverse requirements of our growing list of e-commerce customers," explains Polis, adding, "Integrated Warehousing Solutions' system is specifically designed for third party fulfillment houses like DOTcom Distribution, providing the hooks and interfaces necessary to seamlessly integrate into our clients' legacy systems and Websites."
Elaborating on the flexibility issue, Carl Brewer, President of Integrated Warehousing Solutions, points to the unique "soft" business logic incorporated into IRMS, which requires little training and virtually no specialized technical experience. "IRMS enables DOTcom Distribution to quickly and easily configure their distribution system to adapt to different customers as well as fast changing business climates. With IRMS, the user can make changes in procedure (i.e., switching from consolidated receiving to unconsolidated receiving) through something as simple as a radio button. This allows them to establish their own rules on the fly-without any disruption to overall system performance or efficiency."
Headquartered in Edison, NJ, DOTcom Distribution Corp. provides full service fulfillment and logistics support to traditional direct response marketers as well as emerging international e-commerce firms. Focusing on the needs of companies seeking to expand sales without risking the consumer disappointment that accompanies poor delivery and service, DOTcom Distribution's fully automated, 240,000 sq. ft. warehouse/distribution facility is four stories high and covers an area the size of six football fields. Responding to the accelerated demand for e-commerce fulfillment services, the company plans to open three additional facilities over the next four years.
