Business Wire
Voxware, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOXW), a leading supplier of software for
voice-driven warehousing operations, announced that Progistix, a
member of SCI Group Inc. and one of Canada’s largest third party
solutions providers has implemented the Voxware 3 voice directed
picking solution at their customer site, Bell, Canada’s largest
telephone and communications company. Voxware 3 is seamlessly
integrated with SAP, the warehouse management system in use at the
site.
At Progistix, pickers select a variety of small electronic
parts, small coils of wire, ladders and fuses, in a batched pick.
SAP WM 6.0 clusters these orders together based on order profiles
and the warehouse layout. The voice system then directs the picker
to select items for the orders and where to place them on rolling
carts to correctly fulfill the orders. Voxware 3 uses web services
to facilitate this real-time integration with SAP. Exceptions, such
as shorts, skips or over picks are handled by Voxware 3. The voice
system can also validate handling units with SAP in real-time and
send notifications back to the WMS once assignments are
complete.
“The implementation at Progistix is a great example of how
Voxware can integrate directly with leading WMS vendors such as
SAP,” said Scott Yetter, CEO of Voxware. “We are certain that the
market driven product which we have created will save our customers
time and money.”
Since their voice implementation, Progistix has seen an
improvement in both productivity and accuracy levels. Current order
accuracy rates are at 99.9 percent, which helps the field
technicians to be more productive and, in turn, lowers supply chain
costs and improves customer service for Bell.
“We’re a company that focuses on developing innovative solutions
for our clients that improve performance and eliminate costs. That
sets us apart from our competitors,” explains Shari Pedersen,
Director of Operations. “With voice, we see efficiency gains over
people selecting with RF handheld units. It allows our workers to
be more organized overall. Voice creates momentum for the pickers
to continually keep them on track and productive,” adds Pedersen.
“Employee feedback has also been very positive. Voice users like
having their hands free throughout the entire picking process.”
