GALLATIN, Tenn. -- The Charles C. Parks Co., a regional distributor to convenience stores, will upgrade the supply-chain technology in its Gallatin, Tenn.-based warehouse with Retalix PowerWarehouse, Retalix Power Voice and Retalix Power Productivity software solutions.
"Our company mission is to provide quality products and services to convenience stores across the southern United States in a timely, accurate manner. To keep pace with our growing service standards, we required a warehouse technology upgrade," said Tom Cripps, CFO at Charles C. Parks.
Retalix PowerWarehouse is a [image-nocss] warehouse management system (WMS) specifically designed for route-based, multi-stop food distributors seeking higher operational efficiencies and improved customer service. Using barcode scanning and wireless radio frequency (RF) technologies, the software automates numerous warehouse operations, including receiving, returns processing, order selection, shipping and inventory control.
Retalix Power Voice uses Vocollect Inc.'s Vocollect Voice software to take data from PowerWarehouse and upload it to a wireless Vocollect Talkman mobile computer and headset. This enables hands-free picking for warehouse employees, improving order accuracy and productivity while providing real-time inventory updates.
Retalix Power Productivity monitors and measures employee productivity based on company-set standards for various warehouse tasks. The software also provides reports that warehouse management can use to forecast future workloads and schedules.
