HighJump Software MINNEAPOLIS, MN–(Marketwired – March 03, 2015) – HighJump, a global provider of supply chain management software, announced that Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) has increased accuracy, efficiency and sustainability, as well as decreased error rates since implementing HighJump™ Warehouse Advantage warehouse management system (WMS). QBP is one of the largest wholesale distributors of bicycle parts and accessories to the cycling industry, serving more than 5,000 independent bike dealers.

As the company grew from a single site to a multi-site distribution network, it used the HighJump WMS to implement a waveless order processing system that enhanced its outbound processes and improved throughput on the conveyor systems.

Inventory control reports make the slotting and reporting of inventory much easier for the inventory control teams, and the real-time visibility dashboards provide immediate metrics for managers to monitor efficiency and productivity. These operational efficiencies align with QBP’s sustainability goals, allowing QBP’s ordering, picking and packing to go paperless. Additionally, QBP estimates an energy savings of 10 percent due to increased efficiencies.  "The HighJump WMS has certainly helped us […]
