Learning Resources recently adopted new technology that incorporates an integrated enterprise and WMS solution. My introduction to this technology began as he seated himself at a conference table in the company s Vernon Hills, IL headquarters. A light snowfall was visible through the large window at Woldenberg s back, and an Oogly Googly toy lurked over his left shoulder as he began to speak. I requested a brief overview of the company. Although Learning Resources produces products worldwide, the Vernon Hills facility serves as its central point of distribution.
All inventory is housed in and shipped from that building.
Learning Resources markets and distributes its products using a wide array of channels including educational dealers, toy retailers, government educational institutions, and a small direct-selling program through a retail catalog and its Web site. Through our Web site, we can offer a full range of products to the consumer and provide a useful point of contact with our company, explained Woldenberg. And WMS With this wide assortment of distribution channels and the high demand for its products, Learning Resources realized it needed a supply chain solution that could help manage its inventory and business processes, from order management and manufacturing through shipping and receiving. Learning Resources has a history of aggressively adopting and using new technology to improve its business processes. Most businessmen and technology vendors alike will tell you that implementing an ERP system is an enormous undertaking.
