NEW YORK, N.Y. – Simparel, Inc., the innovator in next-generation information technology (IT) for the fashion and consumer goods industries, announced that fashion-focused, third-party logistics (3PL) provider OTX Logistics USA has begun implementation of the cloud-based Simparel® solution to advance its Warehouse Management (WMS), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities and processes.

 

By replacing its existing warehousing software with the new solution, the company expects to improve overall efficiency and gain greater visibility into orders, inventories and shipments while streamlining processes and collaboration with customers.  

 

“We have simply outgrown our old one-size-fits-all WMS system,” said Juan Concha, OTX Logistics USA vice president of Warehousing & Distribution. “To better serve our customers, we needed to step up to a system with greater flexibility and fashion-specific capabilities. After seeing firsthand what Simparel had done for one of our fashion accessories clients, we knew that the system and company would be the right partner to help us speed operations, automate the flow of information and provide the highest levels of service to all our clients.”

 

OTX Logistics USA executives and teams have identified several advanced capabilities of the Simparel solution that they will leverage to drive measurable business improvements. The new end-to-end system offers fully integrated EDI capabilities that promise to increase accuracy and automate the exchange of information with business partners and customers.

 

System interfaces that are currently required between independent systems will be eliminated along with the setup and maintenance time they require. Exception-based rules, automation of routine processes and business analytics will also simplify management and increase operational efficiencies.

 

“The fact that Simparel gives us all the tools we need in a single solution was key in our decision to advance to the new system,” Concha said. “This not only simplifies internal operations, but makes it possible for us to have a much wider and richer view of all our supply chain and customer interactions. In addition to these and other system capabilities, we expect to benefit greatly from the in-depth fashion industry expertise and best practices that Simparel brings to our partnership.”

 

“We look forward to playing a supporting role in the growth and continued success of OTX Logistics USA,” said  Simparel Strategic Account Director Jill Powers. “Just as they have benefited from the technology experiences of a customer, we expect that many other brands, manufacturers, retailers and suppliers will leverage our technology to make their supply chains more competitive and collaborative.”
