We are scaling our business and needed new tools that enable us to reach our goals. Now, we have optimized our workflow, as the Maritech software is fully integrated and absorbs the side-stream of information. We are very satisfied with both the result and the implementation project.

The accuracy level of the WMS is proven month in and month out and is saving us the equivalent of two hourly workers, or $50,000-$75,000 in manpower on inventory alone. ROC WMS has absolutely helped us improve our profitability, just in the control of inventory loss.

Collectively, we are saving thousands of man-hours each year because operators spend less time on simple reporting tasks. ShopVue makes it easy to bring new employees up to speed. We’ve added over 400 new operators in the last few years without any negative impact to our efficiency metrics.
