CDC Software's Warehouse Management Solution Helps Schneider Electric Increase Capacity, Improve Fulfillment Rates, Reduce Costs and Streamline Efficiencies
CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ:
CHINA) and a provider of industry-specific enterprise software and
services, today announced that Schneider Electric has gone live with its
upgrade to cWMS Release 10, a warehouse management system that is part
of the CDC Supply Chain suite of supply chain solutions, that are
expected to help the company further improve fulfillment rates and
overall productivity, increase capacity, reduce costs and streamline
efficiencies.
With more than 2,000 employees and revenue in excess of £500
million in the U.K., Schneider is a leading supplier of electrical
distribution and automation control products and services in the country
and has rapidly expanded its logistics operations over the past 10 years.
Since first implementing an earlier version of CDC Software’s
cWMS 10 years ago, Schneider Electric consolidated two of its warehouse
sites, while at the same time expanding capacity to 50 tons of
throughput per day, covering 14,000 product lines, resulting in
significant cost savings and higher productivity.
Andrew Holdroyd, logistics projects manager, said, "We
needed to upgrade our warehouse functionality and systems to support our
growing business volume and new distribution service in a multi-brand
environment. We already have achieved many important benefits using CDC
Software’s cWMS solution including a delivery
fulfillment rate of 99.7 percent, improved stock accuracy, audit trails,
workload monitoring, visibility and increased information. The recent
successful go-live, on time and under budget, confirms the commitment of
our two companies to achieve continual improvements to meet the on-going
change and demands within our business. We look forward to many more
years working with CDC Software to deliver increased levels of
functionality and service that will drive continued benefits and
profitability to our business.”
Per Norling, president of CDC Supply Chain, said, "We
are always very pleased and proud to manage and support long-term client
relationships such as the one we have with Schneider Electric. Not only
is this a testament to our products, services and support, but also our
commitment to helping our customers meet their ever-changing operational
needs and business requirements with our new version releases of our
products.”
Michael Shrimplin, logistics development analyst for Schneider Electric,
concluded, "The implementation of the new
system was practically seamless and was carried out with no negative
impact on our customer service levels. While the initial go-live covered
an ‘as-is’ upgrade,
the latest version of cWMS will allow us to implement additional
functionality that is expected to drive additional productivity,
efficiency and profitability benefits for the organization. These
include capabilities such as cartonisation, which will help improve item
scanning, picking accuracy and overall quality control.” About Schneider Electric
