Since acquiring WinterSilks, the company has upgraded to what Scott describes as a new module of the same WMS by Phoenix for the cataloger’s Quick Order Processor (QOP) software. Put into place in late 1999, the new WMS is an upgrade to QOP, which is the original system that dates back to 1986 and has been evolving ever since, says Scott. The cost to fulfill an order dropped 40 percent since the new system was implemented.
