ABB CONCISE Optical Group Takes Second Warehouse Live With IRMS Warehouse Software
In an ongoing effort to advance productivity and increase efficiency through real-time inventory management, ABB CONCISE has successfully implemented Upp's award-winning IRMS software solution in the second of three warehouse operations.
"Working with Upp to help organize our business has provided ABB CONCISE with the full-range feature functionality we desired in working with a third party supplier," said Jeff Rinkus, vice president of Supply Chain, ABB CONCISE. "We are confident entrusting this portion of our business to Upp because of their proven track record and decades of experience in warehouse management, distribution and fulfillment for businesses similar to ours."
Since integrating IRMS into its process several months ago, ABB CONCISE has already reported increased output in its inventory management practice. IRMS' stock rotation, Lot control and FEFO order allocation ensure accurate fulfillment and elimination of aged stock. The FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validated transaction trail provides the comprehensive, who did what, when and where to keep detailed traceability required with the high-volume, high velocity pace of the ABB CONCISE operations. IRMS is one of the only data management systems that is compatible with the strict medical and healthcare requirements put in place by the FDA.
"We are proud to service such great customers as ABB CONCISE. Their commitment to process improvement and service level to their customers is an inspiration for all of us," said Carl Brewer, president of Upp's software division. "We look forward to a long relationship and are already planning the next installation."
With field experts and consultants constantly available to answer questions and provide technical support, IRMS provides customers with a customized solution for complete control over inventory.
