Scotland’s leading independent wines and spirits merchant, Inverarity Morton (IM), has selected a new supply chain management system with voice-activated technology from Business Computer Projects (BCP) to enhance visibility and efficiency across its operations.
Following an intensive evaluation process, IM chose the Accord system from BCP. Designed specifically for wholesalers in the food and drink sector, Accord offers end-to-end Voice WMS capabilities and real-time functionality, enabling companies to monitor and manage warehouse and supply chain operations in real time, from goods receipt to picking, stock-taking and shipping. For a wine and spirits merchant like Inverarity Morton, Accord’s bonded warehouse capabilities will also support the management of stock subject to excise duty alongside wider warehouse operations.
David Taylor, Finance Director at IM, said: “Accord will give us greater control of our entire picking operation which will improve accuracy, efficiency and productivity. In being able to continually track the ‘throughput’ of our products, we will also gain better business intelligence when it comes to the configuration of our entire product portfolio, meaning that our customers will benefit from a product offering that is wholly attuned to their needs.”
Founded in 1945, Inverarity Morton has grown to become a market leader in Scotland by investing in its products, service and people. The company has built long-lasting relationships with their customers – something BCP understands is critical to continued success.
“To survive in today’s competitive market wholesalers need to exploit real-time business data. They can then align their services to meet their customers’ needs,” explained Chris Pass at BCP. “We’re delighted to be working with IM to implement a system we know will help them deliver a service beyond their customers’ expectations.”
BCP has started work on the new 90-user Accord system at IM head office and distribution depot in Glasgow. It is due to go live early next year.
