BOWRING Inc. launches expanded DC using RF Pathways WMS

Toronto, Ontario - Bowring Inc., a Canadian company founded in 1811 in Newfoundland is one of the oldest and most respected names in Canadian retailing. Bowring successfully launched RF Pathways WMS v 4.270.1 in their expanded distribution center in phases during February 2007.

"Bowring operated our DC with a paper based host driven order system for the past few years. Due to the seasonal influx of materials and a recent change in our ordering methods, we often were forced into off site third party storage. One of our providers was an extremely satisfied user of AAI’s product. Based on this relationship and their recommendation, Automation Associates was a short listed candidate. After reviewing a number of offerings, the RF Pathways WMS was chosen as our partner. The real time data and enhanced storage capabilities eliminated some costly third party arrangements and amalgamated all of our materials and processes within the one facility." reported Gary Deighton, Bowring’s Warehouse Manager. "For us to operate efficiently with an increased transaction requirement and be able to deal with the volume, we needed to take advantage of the real time RF driven transactions. RF Pathways has given us the tools necessary."
