Special events products importer Premier Decorations says it expects to improve warehousing and supply chain operations when it goes live with HighJump Warehouse Advantage software from 3M Supply Chain Solutions.
The company, which imports Christmas decorations, summer outdoor living and Halloween products, says it will install the system in its distribution warehouse in Wrexham.
Ron Athwal, logistics operations manager of Premier Decorations, says: “We started the search for a new warehouse management system in March 2007, after deciding we could find a more cost-effective alternative to our 3PL WMS contract.
“We wanted a system that would enable us to insource our distribution operations, as well as meet and build upon the performance parameters expected in our warehouse and logistics facility.
“During our evaluation process, HighJump emerged as a clear winner for the lowest total cost of ownership over its lifetime. 3M’s stability was also important, as was its long-standing commitment to Microsoft technologies to ensure consistency throughout our supply chain.”
