One of Canada's largest
consumer goods suppliers ushers in supply chain agility and
borderless scalability with Tecsys' SaaS WMS.
MONTREAL, March 6,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecsys Inc. (TSX:
TCS), an industry-leading supply chain management software
company, is pleased to announce that ACI Brands, one of
Canada's largest multi-divisional
suppliers of consumer products, will deploy Tecsys' SaaS-based
Elite™ WMS as part of a multimodal modernization
initiative that will enable them to tap into system-driven
technologies and automation solutions.
"Tecsys' software has supported our
business evolution for decades"
Founded 40 years ago as a ladies fashion wallet supplier, ACI
Brands has developed into a multinational supplier and distributor
of consumer products focused on all channels of Canadian and U.S.
retail, spanning accessory, beauty and sporting goods divisions,
and including brands like Buffalo David Bitton, KISS and
Timberland. With its expanding range of products and brands and
increasing ecommerce activity, ACI Brands' priority turned to
modernizing its technical infrastructure and reducing their
internal IT burden to better support the continued growth of their
business.
"Tecsys' software has supported our business evolution for
decades," explains Helder Valentim,
vice president of IT and Operations at ACI Brands. "Despite being a
longstanding Tecsys customer, due diligence required us to confirm
which solution would best meet our needs as a growing distributor
and 3PL with demanding SLAs. With the help of KPMG, we determined
that Tecsys was indeed the best WMS to allow us to retain
operational efficiencies and robust system capabilities while
preparing for more complexity and higher demands on operational
resources."
Designed to control all warehouse activities, Elite™
WMS optimizes inventory management by managing stock levels,
improving order fulfillment and purchase requisitions, and reducing
order cycle times. With the supply chain disruptions and
limitations that have taken place over the past few years during
the pandemic, Tecsys solutions continue to be critical in enabling
businesses to adapt to changing consumer and client behavior.
Integrated with ACI Brands' tech stack, Tecsys' SaaS-based
supply chain platform will drive unity across data siloes and
complex supply chain operations, enabling the company to connect
their back-end core supply chain execution activities together with
ACI Brand's front-end system.
"Elite™ WMS is highly agile, feature rich,
functionally robust and very intuitive for the user, while allowing
us to be flexible in meeting 3PL customer expectations and our
internal targets," Valentim continues. "Leveraging Tecsys'
Elite™ WMS gives us operational stability while
instilling confidence as we scale and drive toward more automated
operations."
Peter Brereton, president and CEO
of Tecsys, comments, "We are delighted that ACI Brands is
demonstrating their ongoing confidence in Tecsys software by
choosing our SaaS platform for their warehouse operations. In
today's competitive supply chain landscape, we see this as an
important testament to the real-world benefits of our WMS
product."
