BEVERLY HILLS, CA - May 21, 2007 - Advanced Quality Logistics (AQL), an emerging retail 3PL company, implemented Motek's Windows-based Priya® Warehouse Management System (WMS) in a record 30 days, enabling the company to aggressively court and win business while processing complicated, high volume orders with 99.9% accuracy.
"In the 15 years I've been implementing warehouse management systems at third party logistics companies, I've never seen a system as comprehensive and easy to use as Priya," said AQL's managing director Owen Schmidt. "Without a doubt, Priya gives us a competitive advantage against established 3PLs vying for new business, while supporting organic growth from existing accounts."
Priya directs every step of AQL's customer inventory management, from the time it arrives in bulk containers to the minute it ships to retail outlets. Using wave picking and Priya's handheld RF devices, workers can select and consolidate inventory for multiple orders simultaneously. Inventory is sorted by individual retail order and value-added services. Priya directs workers to add store labels, UPC stickers or security tags at centralized pack stations. Upon completion, inventory is scanned and Priya generates shipping labels and packing lists to ensure order accuracy. Priya manages inventory, calculates fees for specialized services, and automatically generates invoices which are exported to QuickBooks and sent to AQL customers.
"Priya's flexibility enabled us to meet every requirement despite an aggressive deployment schedule," said Motek project manager Fran Rifkin. "Moteks proprietary, 22-step implementation process, Tycan, kept the project on track and under budget."
AQL now has the infrastructure in place to handle their aggressive growth without sacrificing customer service. "With Priya, AQL speeds accurate orders to retailers across North American, enabling them to bring the world's best retail products to their customers," Schmidt added.
