Herndon, VA (PRWEB) -- Peter Williamson, Vice President, Performance Systems says, "A Warehouse Management System coupled with operational process improvements was identified as one of our biggest opportunities for productivity improvement.

We wanted improved inventory control and reporting, warehouse mapping, integration to suppliers' shipping and invoicing systems, voice pick and real time performance metrics.
