Pocket Nurse Selects HighJump Warehouse Management System (WMS) to Support Future Growth

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (January 11, 2011)--HighJump Software, a global provider of supply chain management software, announced Pocket Nurse has selected theHighJump warehouse management system (WMS) to manage its growing distribution operations. Pocket Nurse provides medical supplies and equipment for healthcare educators. After first implementing the HighJump WMS in its existing facility, the company plans to roll out the HighJump solution in its new distribution facility as well.

Pocket Nurse began its search for a warehouse management system when it realized its current system was stifling opportunities for growth. In addition to being difficult to maintain, the old system could not provide accurate cycle counting and physical inventory data, and could not track serial numbers, lot numbers or expiration dates. The company selected the HighJump warehouse management system for its low total cost of ownership; Pocket Nurse can make changes to the system with internal resources. Additionally, Pocket Nurse believes HighJump provides the most accurate packing solution for its complex kitting requirements.

Armed with the HighJump warehouse management system, Pocket Nurse is confident it will outperform its competitors. The system will enable the company to streamline a unique kitting and pack-out process, which will significantly reduce time and labor costs and help Pocket Nurse grow over the next five years. In addition, the HighJump solution will help increase inventory accuracy, boost productivity, and provide serial number, lot number and expiration date tracking. The HighJump solution will also help Pocket Nurse provide better customer communication and improved overall organizational communication.

“The HighJump warehouse management system handles our complex requirements and will give us real-time visibility into our operations, which will allow us to meet the needs of more customers and expand our business,” said Anthony Battaglia, President, Pocket Nurse. “We’re also pleased the HighJump solution will be up and running according to our corporate requirements in a short time frame.”
