EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
HighJump Software, a global provider of supply chain execution solutions,
announces the availability of a supply chain solution that enhances the online
shopping experience and fulfillment of customer orders. Offering an in-store
fulfillment option to retail customers is a growing trend that offers
convenience, cost savings and an extra level of service to increase customer
loyalty and set retailers apart from their competitors. 

HighJump Warehouse Advantage for In-Store Fulfillment provides retailers with
all the tools needed to set up an in-store fulfillment operation, including
order capture, store mapping, work queue management, wave planning and real-time
inventory tracking. By leveraging the flexible and adaptable tier-one HighJump
warehouse management system (WMS) solution configured with comprehensive
in-store fulfillment capabilities, HighJump Software works behind the scenes to
create a satisfying online shopping experience as well as a tightly managed
in-store order fulfillment process. 

To deliver the online shopping component of the solution, HighJump has teamed
with Grocery Shopping Network (GSN). GSN brings together the Web and in-store
supermarket shopping experience by providing retailers` Web sites with software
products that integrate shopping list building, recipes and meal planning with
relevant, focused advertising content. Once a customer has submitted an order
online, it will be routed to HighJump Warehouse Advantage for order fulfillment.
Associates at the retail grocery location then pick the order and either have it
ready for curbside pick-up at a customer-selected date and time, or extend the
solution to include turn-by-turn directions for customer home delivery. 

"Today`s retail consumer is more crunched for time than ever, resulting in the
increasing popularity of convenient online shopping," said Chad Collins, Vice
President of Marketing and Strategy, HighJump Software. "Savvy retailers and
grocers are leveraging this trend and offering consumers flexibility through
home delivery and store pickup using advanced technologies that turn the store
into an automated fulfillment center."
