Blue Horseshoe Implementing New Software Solutions for National Transportation, Warehousing Giant Biagi Bros.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Horseshoe is in the final stages of implementing extensive software solutions for a national transportation and warehousing company.
The software solutions company is implementing its Warehousing for AX (WAX) solution for Biagi Bros., a Napa, Calif., company that operates more than 300 semis and 700 tractor-trailers involved in national interstate and intrastate liquid, bulk and common freight carrier transportation and warehousing services. Primarily associated with the beverage industry, Biagi Bros. also warehouses and hauls commodities and operates 15 distribution centers and more than 2.3 million square feet of food-grade warehouse space throughout the nation.
Blue Horseshoe's WAX solution will integrate advanced supply chain capabilities into the company's Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP system and provide a real-time, global view of business operations with extended functionality for Dynamics AX to accomplish warehousing tasks more easily and efficiently.
"The ultimate goal of the WAX implementation is to provide Biagi Bros. an integrated, comprehensive order management, distribution and financial system," said Kevin Paul, vice president of Blue Horseshoe. "WAX has the features and functionality necessary to integrate with the company's TMW transportation system and replace existing financial and warehouse management systems."
Blue Horseshoe's goals with its WAX solution for Biagi Bros. include:
- Enhancing customer satisfaction through higher service levels;
- Increasing inventory and order visibility with the implementation of an external Customer Portal in which customers can see real-time inventory and order status;
- Improving profit and loss visibility within the organization at a customer/account level and be able to run a P&L for any period at any time;
- Implementing bin-level inventory, real-time inventory visibility and lot tracking; and
- Implementing an RF-based system to significantly reduce the amount of paper used within Biagi Bros.' warehouses.
"We chose Blue Horseshoe because the company has an impressive track record of implementing solutions across a number of different industries and verticals," said Nick Biagi, director of information technology at Biagi Bros. "Blue Horseshoe is committed to developing solutions that will meet our needs today and in years to come."
Blue Horseshoe is also integrating its Business Intelligence as a Service (BIA2S) solution to automate some key company processes at Biagi Bros. BIA2S is a stand-alone environment that integrates into a company's existing enterprise, warehouse management or transportation management systems. The BIA2S solution from Blue Horseshoe will concurrently process real-time data from multiple sources and aggregate and consolidate information from multiple data sources to provide clarity and continuity.
"Since Biagi Bros. is a 3PL, its primary source of revenue comes from warehouse and storage activities," Paul said. "The bi-weekly accumulation of all these activities was a very cumbersome, time-consuming and manual process. The creation of invoices sent to customers was manually inputted into the company's billing system. The implementation of BIA2S will automate the capture and accumulation of transaction and storage information and automate Biagi Bros' invoice generation process."
