State of Virginia Distribution Center Selects AFS Technologies for Warehouse Management (WMS) and Advanced ERP Solutions
PHOENIX - (BUSINESS WIRE) - AFS Technologies, a leading provider of business enterprise and on
demand software solutions, announced the selection of the Priya
Enterprise Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the AFS Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) business automation solutions for the
Commonwealth of Virginia's Distribution Center (VDC). With close to
1,000 items, the Commonwealth of Virginia's Distribution Center is a
128,000 square foot facility that provides government agencies with
high-quality products and services that serve the commissary needs of
state-run institutions.
Designed specifically for distribution centers, the Priya Enterprise WMS
solution offers features that include integrated RF, barcode scanning
and hands-free voice technology that eliminate paper and data entry
errors. Combined with an intuitive user interface, the Priya WMS
solution reduces labor costs, improves inventory control and increases
transaction accuracy. AFS Technologies' business automation solutions
will help state officials optimize the labor force, reduce overall costs
and enhance productivity within the four walls of the state's
distribution warehouse.
"Our feature-rich, best-in-class ERP, WMS and order management solutions
(OMS) provide customers the ability to enter orders themselves from any
location with Internet access. Key features of this solution enable
state-run agencies to quickly and accurately allow their customers to
enter orders, view past order history and check inventory levels in real
time," states Carl McCauley, Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at AFS Technologies.
He adds, "The State of Virginia's Distribution Center will improve total
traceability of all products and maximize order accuracy. Access to this
real-time information will improve overall customer satisfaction, a key
component in the state's decision to go with AFS Technologies."
The benefits of a fully integrated ERP and WMS system from one vendor
provide improvements in visibility of all areas of the process,
including production, inventory and financial data. These improvements
make it easier to identify opportunities for a reduction in operating
costs and an increase in efficiencies. The Priya Enterprise WMS solution
combined with AFS ERP will improve overall warehouse efficiency and
reduce the potential for lost or misplaced inventory.
Total traceability is a key goal to the success of the Commonwealth of
Virginia's Distribution Center, and AFS Technologies' innovative
solutions will ensure that Virginia achieves this goal. With a complete
suite of business applications, including ERP, WMS, Sales Force
Automation (SFA), and Business Intelligence (BI) tools, AFS Technologies
will play a key role in helping the Virginia government to maximize its
investment in technology and meet the demands of state-run institutions
in a timely and cost effective manner.
