Turille & Associates Announces Integration of Dematic’s PickDirector Voice Picking System
Turille to Offer Customers a “Best in Class” Option for Streamlining Warehouse Picking Costs
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--Turille & Associates, a tier one route accounting system provider to Anheuser-Busch wholesalers, today announced plans to integrate PickDirector® by Dematic. The integration will provide Turille customers the option of a fully integrated warehouse control system that leverages a state-of-the-art voice picking system. Dematic’s Voice pick technology is a proven cost-saving technology that can help Turille customers streamline their warehouse costs.
“We work very closely with all of our wholesaler customers and really take the time to understand their business,” said Emil Turille, President of Turille & Associates. “Then we look at our system and see if technology enhancements can assist our customers in meeting their day-to-day challenges. Voice picking in the warehouse stood out as a huge cost-savings potential for our customers. We investigated the market and chose Dematic’s PickDirector as our integrated product of choice. We’re confident that PickDirector’s functionality will exceed our customer expectations and provide multiple areas of tangible value.”
Integrating the Dematic PickDirector software suite will provide voice-based functionality for picking by case or layer, enhance quality assurance, replenishment, label printing, truck loading, and manifesting. Once integrated, Turille’s system will offer customers an end-to-end, robust warehouse control system.
Loretta Lang, VP of Operations at Double Eagle Beverage, is an eighteen-year client of Turille & Associates. “We challenged Emil & his team to look for areas within our operation where technology could help us streamline costs. Turille & Associates immediately focused on our warehouse operation and came to us with a detailed plan, and the related savings that a voice picking system could generate. We look forward to working with Turille on this effort.”
“The integration work between us and Dematic is already in full swing,” said Turille. “We have our first beta site identified and plan to have it up and running in early 2008. Once complete and we have customer acceptance, our follow on customer demand is pretty robust.”
