WISE LEADER – SHARON REDPATH
SHARON REDPATH Finance and Operations Manager, WHOLESALE FROZEN FOODS – WFF
Sharon Redpath is the Finance Manager and QA Manager for WFF. Sharon was a key influencer for WFF when it came time to automate their processes and implement a 3PL WMS that could accommodate both dry and frozen storage requirements. Sharon and her team evaluated several systems and concluded that the WISE 3PL WMS system best fit their needs. They narrowed it to a few components, but primarily it came down to WISE having rules-based configuration, a comprehensive training program and the Royal 4 engineers high level domain knowledge of the 3PL cold storage industry. The system being powerful yet simple to operate was another component of the final decision. For these reasons to choose the R4/WISE solution it makes us proud to induct Sharon Redpath as the newest member of the WISE leader’s program
“The WISE WMS 3PL has been a great addition for Wholesale Frozen Foods. Since implementing the WISE system we have seen more productivity than we thought we would. This was good news to the entire staff. Training new employees takes less effort now, and the accuracy of not just inventory but receiving, putaway, picking and shipping has markedly improved. We have also have been able to handle more transactions without adding more people. All in all, I would recommend the Royal 4 WISE system to any other cold storage 3PL that wishes to improve their accuracy and efficiency in this competitive marketplace.”
