Visage, one of the UK's largest importers of clothing who have been a valuable ATMS customer and user of the StockTrack PLUS warehouse management system at their facilities in Washington and South Shields in Tyne and Wear, is being  upgraded to the latest version to take advantage of additional functionality. The new version comes with even more interfacing capability which is essential to the business.

The warehouse in Washington has grown in throughput substantially over the past few years and with ever changing supplier and customer demands it was imperative Visage ensured they remained at the pinnacle of efficiency.

Graeme Broadhead points out that "with ever changing customer demands for information we needed to ensure that not only we had the ability to provide our customers with instant and comprehensive information but also to have extensive operational visibility".

The new version allows us to grow in to other technologies available such as remote labeling, advanced perpetual Inventory and use of the Event manager which allows us to pre-program processes to happen in specific scenarios which includes emailing customers with agreed information automatically. The upgrade would also allow Visage to take advantage of the packing module to enable more value added processing, and the remote labeling module to streamline shipments from suppliers and pre-plan dispatches based on the accurate information available when using the module.

Visage have also used this upgrade as a reason to change the dynamics of the warehouse to control product at carton level rather than at pallet level providing better flexibility for the customer.
