Motek's® Priya® Drives Accuracy, & Delivers a Competitive Edge at CMV Cold Storage


Real-time inventory and resource management drives accuracy for seasonal produce business to 100%.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - December 18, 2007 - CMV Cold Storage, a third party logistics (3PL) company specializing large produce distribution, has revolutionized its seasonal business with Motek's® Windows-based Priya® Warehouse Management System (WMS). Since going live with Priya, the company achieved 100% visibility into resources and inventory ensuring their ability to manage seasonal surges accurately.

"Automating our process with Priya increased our speed and efficiency, allowing us to serve more customers, deliver a greater variety of services and thoroughly manage inventory in real-time," said Chuck Ciruli, Partner at CMV Cold Storage. "Priya is an essential part of our just-in-time inventory management, as we aim to drop and ship 100% of our inventory daily."

Priya's flexibility enables CMV Cold Storage to manage its inventory flow regardless of volume and provides real-time visibility into inventory on the docks, in racks and on trucks, speeding delivery and increasing accuracy. CMV Cold Storage consolidates produce for virtually every large manufacturer providing perishable foods to the United States from Mexico. The 3PL needed an advanced WMS to serve existing customers and compete in an increasingly technology-driven market.

"Priya eliminates the blind spots seasonal 3PLs face with inventory spikes and ensures they are well-prepared to accurately deliver goods on schedule," said Ann Price, Motek's CEO. "3PL without a comprehensive WMS like Priya will be hard-pressed to survive in today's competitive market."
