Bowman Logistics Closes the Visibility Gap and Increases Customer
Communication
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Bowman Logistics, a division of D.M. Bowman, Inc., announced they
have implemented a new warehouse management system, Logimax.

   A mostly transportation-focused business, D.M. Bowman took a
strategic view to capturing more market share by strengthening their
logistics service offerings in warehousing. The implementation of
Logimax already substantially increases the value of the warehousing
business to the company as whole.

   According to leading industry research, the role of logistics
providers is changing and 3PLs are becoming more strategic partners
that add value.

   "More than ever today, our customers are interested in what
additional value we can provide," said David Ebner, Chief Logistics
Officer. "While we've been traditionally focused on transportation, we
see the opportunities available in our warehousing business."

   "Previously an outside research firm gave us high marks for good
customer service and business process. With Logimax efficiently
automating our warehouse, enabling bar coding, integrating into our
accounting system and extending our EDI capabilities, we've
implemented the technology to turn our great service into a great
competitive advantage," Ebner said.

   "The result is that we're turning manual work into
cost-competitive revenue. And, internally, we have more accurate data
and better visibility for decision making."

   "In warehousing, it's much more than just handling product," Ebner
added. "We aim to satisfy current and future customers with valuable
and fair service; that means implementing the right technology for
greater communication and visibility. Our customers' visibility has
expanded into the shelves of the warehouse; and, easy customer access
to information has increased dramatically."
