“Aldata has helped us significantly improve the flow and management of inventory at our distribution centers (DCs). A lot of the produce held at the DCs is perishable and has a very short shelf-life. It’s important that the right products get shipped at the right time. Staff have been very positive towards the Aldata implementation, and in particular the PDA-based voice directed warehousing solution, which has already shown to improve pick accuracy and productivity.” Marcel Niogret, Simply Market.
