FootPrint WMS Review
Looking back and saying if Datex was the right choice I am very confident saying Datex was the right choice for our business. I am glad that we had moved that way and worked with Datex.
FootPrint WMS Review
Datex said everything right. They came in did not disrupt us as a business. They got us up and going seamlessly.
Going from 20 to nearly 2000 SKUs has been little challenge
We use FootPrint® at Ocean Cold and without it we would never have been able to keep up with the SKU sprawl we have encountered over the last 2 years. Going from 20 to nearly 2000 SKUs has been little challenge with the help of a true RF WMS. Our parent companies decision to build a large cold storage coupled with our decision to use Footprint has saved our corporation millions during the economic downturn.
