Yantra Helps ScanSource Improve Order Fulfillment Efficiency And Accuracy
TEWKSBURY - Yantra Corporation (www.yantra.com), the leading provider of supply chain solutions for the extended enterprise, today announced that ScanSource, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCSC), a leading value-added distributor of AIDC (automatic identification and data capture), point of sale and telephony products for the reseller market, has implemented Yantra Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the Yantra Platform, both components of the Yantra 5x product suite, to increase productivity, obtain tighter inventory control and lower costs.
ScanSource and its distribution division, ChannelMax, implemented the Yantra solutions because of their scalability and flexibility. These two attributes ensure that ScanSource is able to meet current and future order volumes, as well as evolving customer needs. Prior to implementing Yantra, ScanSource managed its warehouse and fulfillment processes with an ERP system. Yantra's solutions enable ScanSource to increase productivity by automating key warehouse processes and providing real-time inventory visibility and control, whether the inventory resides in the warehouse or is in transit. As a result, ScanSource can continue to streamline its supply chain processes, while achieving continuous improvement.
ChannelMax's president and CEO, Travis Collins, stated, "As a value-added distributor, the ability to efficiently offer differentiated services is our lifeblood. To ensure our continued success, we have to make certain that we have the right technology and the right partners to meet and exceed our customers' needs. By implementing Yantra, we're able to continue providing the highest level of service to our customers, while enhancing our ability to do more for them. With Yantra, we're able to expand our strategic relationships, while ratcheting up operational productivity."
ScanSource markets products from more than 60 technology manufacturers to over 13,000 value-added technology resellers. The flexibility of Yantra's solution enables ScanSource to leverage efficiencies across their customer base and reduce costs as the company rolls-out new value-added services or adds customers to its roster.
"ScanSource represents a great opportunity for us to demonstrate what our solutions can do to manage strategic fulfillment processes and drive new business opportunities,"said Devdutt Yellurkar, president and CEO of Yantra. "We are pleased to play a role in ScanSource's stellar success and we're excited at the opportunity to help them provide, not only the highest level of customer service, but also serve as a framework for new services. We're committed to doing our part to ensure they maintain their amazing growth."
