Downers Grove, IL -- July 18, 2006 --Integrated Warehousing Solutions (IWS), the company behind world-class warehouse and distribution operations, has been named to the 2006 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100. IWS' proven ability to improve inventory management, reduce costs and increase productivity in the last mile of the supply chain earned the company a spot on the elite list for a second year in a row.
IWS provides advanced warehouse management solutions for leaders in retail, manufacturing, 3rd-party logistics and distribution. Its IRMS solution ensures that inventory is correctly logged upon receipt, stored in the right location and that levels are consistently updated and replenishment is automatically triggered before stock-outs occur. With IWS, employees no longer waste valuable time looking up inventory locations on the computer, only to go to the shelves to find that the information was out-of-date and the product was out-of-stock, leaving the order unfulfilled.
"Our goal with this year's '100' is to highlight a broad range of innovations taking place in the theory and practice of supply chain transformation," said Andrew Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Therefore, our judging committee looked for solutions across a variety of industries, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes, and assisting in the transformation of a diverse mix of the functions that make up the supply chain."
Companies included in the 2006 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 are leading providers of supply chain services and technologies across a diverse range of industries, with solutions proven in real-world implementations to be at the forefront of innovation. These companies are helping customers streamline even the most complex supply chains - from product inception to fruition.
"Our customers represent some of the most innovative companies when it comes to managing the critical connection that puts products into the hands of buyers," said Carl Brewer, president of IWS. "This recognition is theirs as well, as it's their standards for excellence in the last mile of the supply chain, that shape our solutions."
