Eagle
Solution Increases Inventory Accuracy and Improves Productivity for
Associated Brands
KINNELON,
N.J.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—January 22, 2001—Eagle
Consulting and Development's automated data collection solution gave
Associated Brands the inventory control they needed and their grocery
store chain customers the freshest dry-food products possible.
Before
the implementation of RF Express™ for QAD MFG/PRO®, a bar coding and
data collection solution, Brian Cappellaro, IT manager, Associated Brands,
Toronto, Canada, said, "Locating stock within our building in a
real-time fashion was a difficult and time-consuming process for us.
Today, we're starting to see our inventory accuracy levels go up and
productivity improve." He
added, "There's a great deal of control that's happening now."
In
addition to providing quick and accurate product location information, RF
Express for QAD MFG/PRO also produces bar coded lot controls used for
product rotation. "We
put weekly lot numbers on products so we know when they were actually
made," says Cappellaro.
RF
Express for QAD MFG/PRO offers online, real-time automated data collection
capabilities that are tightly integrated with Associated Brands' chosen
enterprise solution, QAD MFG/PRO. In
fact, it was the "plug and go" feature that originally attracted
Associated Brands. Cappellaro
adds, "We were operational the same day we went live. The staff has
found RF Express for QAD MFG/PRO easy to work with and the distribution
manager and supervisor are very happy."
Eagle
Executive Vice-President of Marketing and Sales Bill Paone, says “The
fact that RF Express for QAD MFG/PRO was specifically designed to fully
integrate with QAD MFG/PRO makes this kind of implementation a lot less
scary for busy manufacturing and distribution operations that can't afford
down time.” He added,
"And, our QAD MFG/PRO experienced implementation consultants add
another degree of customer comfort."
