WMS Upgrade

Our client was a privately owned company and in business of manufacturing premium work-wear over 100 years.

Situation:

Process was very complex with random patches all over the system
400+ custom programs
Little understanding of capabilities of latest WMS version

ELIMINATING UNNECESSARY MODIFICATIONS

Our client had over 400 modified programs with very little organization and almost no documentation. They brought in Initechs to help them sort through the mess and bring them up to the latest version of their WMS.

Initechs’ experienced consultants analyzed their modified programs and organized them by functional modification. Using our detailed knowledge of their WMS, we helped them understand which modifications could be replaced by new base functionality. We then revised the modifications so that they would work with the newest version of the WMS without forcing the client to alter their business processes. Initechs was able to eliminate more than 50% of the modifications, giving the client a cleaner, more efficient system that will be easier to upgrade in the future.

INITECHS’ EXPERIENCE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE MADE IT POSSIBLE

Our goal was to help our client get the most out of their upgraded WMS. We compared their needs with the offerings of the latest version of the WMS. To do that, we:

Mapped the capabilities of the latest version of the WMS software to their business processes
Defined the gaps between the company’s requirements and the available system functionality
Identified necessary modifications to bridge those gaps
Developed a comprehensive upgrade strategy
Developed a detailed project plan, including resource and time requirements
Executed the project plan to perfection
Our experienced hands-on consultants made it possible to do all of this in just a few short months.

UNCOMMON RESULTS, EVERY TIME INITECHS DOES IT WITH PASSION

In the end, our client had a cleaner system, fewer modifications, and better system performance; all for less money than our competition would have charged to do much less.
