Software-as-a-Service Supply Chain Solution Vendor Helps Manufacturers, Distributors, Retailers And Third Party Logistics Providers Improve Operations
The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 by THINKstrategies as an initiative aimed at bringing greater attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability. Deposco offers next-generation supply chain solutions to manufacturers, distributors, retailers and 3PL's. Past supply chain solutions were limiting due to their expense, closed architecture, lack of mobility, and inability to share information with trading partners. Deposco's SaaS delivery model, rapid implementation and easy configuration of customer specific business processes drive quick return-on-investment (ROI) with minimal up-front investment. One example of Deposco helping its customers gain a competitive edge can be found at SC Sports in Pocahontas, Arkansas. SC Sports is a distributor of licensed sports memorabilia through contracts with Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and NASCAR. The company has over 5,000 customers including big box retailers, sporting goods retailers, grocery stores, MLB.com, NFL.com, and Amazon.com. Each distribution channel comes with different customer requirements, unique challenges, and complexity that leads to higher costs. Prior to implementing Deposco's ShipForce solution, manual sorting and handling of thousands of daily orders took excessive labor and substantial management time. In addition to inefficient processes, SC Sports lacked inventory visibility or knowledge of where items are stored, enforceable business controls, and measurement tools. Using Deposco's SaaS-based supply-chain solution, SC Sports has been able to streamline and automate its processes, more effectively direct its labor, collect inventory and performance data stored at the location level using mobile devices, and generate business intelligence reports via management dashboards. Additionally, SC Sports reduced double data entry, eliminated 50% of its seasonal picking staff, and reassigned data entry clerks to customer service. It is for these reasons that Deposco has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner.

"Improving supply-chain operations to reduce unnecessary costs is essential in today's challenging economic climate," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace.
