Ashley Furniture increased productivity and expanded globally

How the largest furniture manufacturer and second-largest retailer in the world increased productivity and expanded globally

Because of the fast-changing nature of the furniture industry and Ashley’s commitment to continuous process improvement, the company needed a supply chain software solution that could adapt to its evolving business needs. Furthermore, the company’s demanding 24/7 parameters for service-call response necessitated a solution that could be supported and improved with its own in-house team.

Learn how Ashley Furniture:

• Took complete ownership of the WMS solution after implementation including software management and upgrades
• Leveraged a foundation of best practices, along with the ability to build its own specific processes
• Gained clear visibility of the number and location of its trucks and inventory, many located off-site or in huge yards
• Became more productive without needing to increase headcount
• Implemented very specific timing and synchronization among many moving parts involved in running the warehouse effectively
