Radio Beacon helps Canadian Book Depot Spread the Word
RADIO BEACON WMS provides Canada`s newest online book retailer with a competitive advantage through on-demand delivery capability and Web-based customer service tools
Toronto, ON, February 23, 2004 Radio Beacon Inc., a developer of warehouse management software for 3PLs, manufacturers, and distributors, announced today that Canadian Book Depot has deployed RADIO BEACON WMS in its Mississauga, Ontario, warehouse. RADIO BEACON`s seamless integration with most financial systems and accounting software enables this small e-business to serve the needs of its large-enterprise clients more effectively.
Canadian Book Depot opened its doors in June 2004 as an online retailer and distributor of books to customers within the Canadian retail, supply chain and public sectors. Through its small but busy warehouse, the organization supplies Canadian enterprises with training books and seminar or conference publications. They also supply rare print, art, and photography books frequently used as corporate gifts. Canadian Book Depot`s immense selection of titles means they are unable to store their entire inventory at the warehouse at one time. However, RADIO BEACON WMS` real-time order and inventory tracking functions combined with its seamless integration with Canadian Book Depot`s financial systems enables the organization to operate with an on-demand inventory model.
"There are literally hundreds of thousands of books available online, and as a small business we could not afford to operate a warehouse facility large enough to store all the titles," said Frank Nelson, Vice President, Canadian Book Depot. "With RADIO BEACON we have an effective and affordable system to track orders and inventory in real time, allowing us to order any titles we may not have on hand and ship them to the customer quickly."
With RADIO BEACON, Canadian Book Depot also has access to Web-based tools which allow the organization to offer customers services such as account self-management and monthly billing. These unique services are not even offered by Canadian Book Depot`s biggest competitors, providing the organization with a competitive advantage.
"In today`s competitive market, technology can provide small businesses with a critical advantage," said Dale Jeffries, President, Radio Beacon Inc. "With tools such as RADIO BEACON WMS, small businesses can not only reduce operating costs and provide highest-quality customer service, but can also put in place a technology infrastructure that will easily support their growth in years to come."
