Warehouse Management: DFV Wines Uncorks A Fully Integrated Warehouse Management System, Accellos WMS Powered By Radio Beacon For SAP Business One

Accellos, Inc., one of the providers of warehouse, 3PL, logistics, transportation and mobile fleet management solutions, announced recently that DFV Wines is utilizing Accellos' warehouse management system in its 126,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Manteca, California. Accellos WMS' seamless integration with SAP Business One software has enabled DFV Wines to keep pace with the constantly evolving demands of their business and industry technology.

With nearly 1.5 million cases of wine moving through their warehouse every year, world renowned wine producer DFV Wines needed a way to more accurately track and control their inventory. After having replaced their ERP system with SAP Business One, management decided it was time to implement a warehouse management system. The company selected Accellos WMS for its compatibility with Business One and its functionality to meet their business requirements.

Since implementation, Accellos WMS has streamlined DFV Wine's warehouse operations. The company is now better equipped to respond to their order fulfillment using RF technology and has transitioned from batch processing to RF picking gaining real-time visibility. The advanced warehouse capabilities of Accellos WMS have given DFV Wines the ability to stay competitive while operating more efficiently.

"With the SAP Business One and Accellos WMS applications we have re-engineered our business processes making DFV Wines a more productive company," said Michael Strohmaier, Director of Information Technology at DFV Wines. "We are changing our operational processes to accommodate new technology and to be progressive in the industry."

"We are proud to include DFV Wines in our Accellos WMS family," said Joel Kremke, Accellos, Inc. COO. "DFV Wines has an 80-year heritage of flawlessly-crafted wines and distinguished business standards. We believe that DFV Wines' decision to partner with Accellos demonstrates the functional fit of Accellos WMS for supply chain management in the premium wines and spirits industry."

DFV Wines deployed the Accellos WMS on a HP Proliant Server running Windows Server 2003 64 Bit. DFV went through extensive testing and training so users were confident the implementation and transition would be seamless.

"DFV's executives and employees are satisfied with Accellos WMS and can really see the potential and growth possibilities" stated Michael Strohmaier "We plan on implementing additional Accellos WMS features over the next two years to really get the full capability from the application as we grow".
