IRMS Buoys Operations at Taylor Made, a Leading Supplier of Recreational Boating Products

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.-(Business Wire)-February 13, 2008 - Integrated Warehousing Solutions, LLC, a leading provider of supply chain execution solutions, announced today that Taylor Made Products has selected the IRMS Warehouse Management System to manage its distribution and logistic operations. Taylor Made specializes in boating accessories including boat covers, life rings, buoys, lighting and specialty products.

Taylor Made will use IRMS in their warehouse to gain inventory accuracy, increase product efficiency and gain a higher return on investment. Up until the IRMS implementation, Taylor Made was running a manual warehouse operation.

Mark Hurd, Taylor Made project manager, says, "The implementation of IRMS will allow Taylor Made 100% visibility of our warehouse and will result in improvement in managing order fill rates, as well as visibility of fill rates at any particular point in time based upon current inventory levels."

IRMS will enhance and automate business processes at Taylor Made, from the receipt of raw materials to the shipping of finished goods to the end customer. Taylor Made will also benefit from improvements in operational efficiency with total control over product movement provided by the IRMS Warehouse Management System and radio frequency (RF) technology. This eliminates picker interference, reduces pick and travel time and errors associated with manually imputing data.
