McLane Advanced Technologies and mcaConnect, LLC Team Up to Deliver Advanced Warehouse Functionality in Microsoft Dynamics(TM) AX
TEMPLE, Texas - McLane Advanced Technologies (MAT) announced today a strategic partnership with Microsoft Dynamics(TM) AX solution provider mcaConnect, LLC. mcaConnect, a leading global Microsoft Dynamics AX reseller serving the distribution and manufacturing markets, will immediately begin to offer MAT's warehouse management system embedded in Microsoft Dynamics AX called Warehouse 3g. The combination of MAT's solution and intellectual property around supply chain operations and mcaConnect's dominance in Microsoft Dynamics AX implementations will provide the advanced functionality many midmarket companies have been missing in their current ERP solution.
"We are very excited to bring such a well-respected and successful Microsoft partner to our team," says MAT Chief Executive Officer David Mitchell. "The ERP expertise mcaConnect offers is second to none. This, combined with MAT's supply chain expertise, will result in increased value for our customers."
MAT was founded by Drayton McLane and built on over a century of experience in supply chain operations gained at McLane Company - one of the largest foodservice distributors in the world. The methodology and approach to supply chain operations used at the McLane Company were acquired by Walmart in the early 1990's. This intellectual property around distribution also caught the eye of Microsoft® - which is why McLane Advanced Technologies partnered with Microsoft to develop the best-in-breed warehouse management system embedded in the Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP system. MAT has embedded proven best practices from over a century in distribution operations -- giving customers increased function inside their ERP solution.
"MAT obviously brings deep knowledge of supply chain operations to the Microsoft Partner ecosystem," says mcaConnect President Claude Watson. "We feel that leveraging this expertise in distribution will provide a very unique value proposition and allow us to present a more robust solution to distributors looking to streamline their operations."
