Downers Grove, IL -- October 5, 2006 --Integrated Warehousing Solutions (IWS) has been recognized by Start-IT magazine with a Technology & Business (T&B) Innovation Award for leadership in delivering high-performing solutions that increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve the return on warehouse operations. The company's IRMS system is used by dozens of manufacturers, retailers and distributors to improve inventory management, reduce costs and increase productivity in the "last mile" of the supply chain - where products are delivered to consumers.
More than 100 software providers were nominated for the Start-IT T&B Innovation Award this year. Nominees were judged by an independent panel of industry experts and analysts, and winners were selected based on the technology provider's ability to enhance the success of its manufacturing customers.
"The Technology and Business Award winners have shown the vital role information technology can play as an enabler in accomplishing their business objectives," said John Buell, editor-in-chief, Start-IT magazine.
The T&B Innovation Award is the second accolade for IWS' customer success this year; the company was named to the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Top 100 in July, the third consecutive year IWS has received the honor.
IWS provides advanced warehouse management solutions for leaders in manufacturing, third-party logistics, distribution and retail. Its IRMS solution ensures that inventory is correctly logged upon receipt and stored in the right location, with levels consistently updated and replenishment automatically triggered before stock-outs can occur. With IRMS, 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time looking up inventory locations on the computer, only to go to the shelves to find that the information was out-of-date and the product out-of-stock, leaving the order unfulfilled.
"We're very excited to have been recognized for the value we deliver to customers," said Carl Brewer, president of IWS. "Our mission is to provide our customers with innovative warehousing management solutions that improve their overall business performance - this award reflects their success, as much as our own."
