O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: ORLY), one of the largest
specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools,
supplies, equipment and accessories in the United States, today
announced that it is accelerating its transition to a paperless
distribution center (DC) network by greatly expanding its use of
voice systems from Vocollect, Inc., the world leader in voice
solutions for mobile workers.
O'Reilly has 3,415 stores in 38 states and more than 44,000 team
members. Through its acquisition last year of CSK Auto Corporation,
as well as the establishment of additional new DCs to support the
company's growing business, the company projects it will have a
significant number of distribution centers utilizing Vocollect
Voice within the next four to five years, according to Greg
Johnson, senior vice president, Distribution Operations, O'Reilly
Automotive, Inc.
"Our productivity and accuracy levels continue to improve
throughout our distribution operations with the use of voice from
Vocollect," said Johnson. "Last year we processed over 96 million
lines using Vocollect Voice. Voice has helped us to reduce cost,
improve customer satisfaction and overall business performance, as
well as achieve a very positive return on investment. Vocollect
also will help us in our continuing efforts to transition to
paperless DCs," he said.
O'Reilly is currently using Vocollect Voice for picking in most
of its existing DCs. All future new DCs will activate their
operation with Vocollect, beginning with the first group of new
DCs, by the end of 2010. Other existing O'Reilly DCs are at various
stages in their transition to a voice-centric solution.
"Driving bottom-line results is what the Vocollect solution is
all about. O'Reilly's success in unleashing a higher level of
business performance through voice is a testament to the company's
ability to gain a continuing value from its investment," said Joe
Pajer, president, Supply Chain Solutions, Vocollect, Inc. "Through
five years of continued growth and expansion, Vocollect has helped
O'Reilly achieve its productivity and accuracy goals across its
network of DCs, and we are pleased that the company is expanding
its use of Vocollect Voice to other DC operations," he said.
