Britax Childcare Pty Ltd of Australia Selects RF-SMART for Data Collection
Makers of High-End Childcare Products Rely on RF-SMART's Market Leading Integration to Microsoft Dynamics AX for Automated Data Collection Needs
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(December 11, 2008)--ICS, Inc., Gold Certified Microsoft Partner, today announced that Britax Childcare (Australia) Pty Ltd has selected the RF-SMART automated data collection solution for its well-reputed integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX and its robust wireless warehouse management automation. RF-SMART will help Britax Childcare Pty Ltd of Australia streamline warehouse functions, reduce manual data input and improve both inventory accuracy and real-time product visibility.
A part of the global Britax group of companies, Britax Childcare Pty Ltd of Australia manufactures high-end child-care safety products and distributes to the Australian, New Zealand and Asia Pacific markets.
The organization's key challenge is to more efficiently meet growing demand for its products. After selecting Microsoft Dynamics AX as its new global ERP platform, the Australian operations needed to replace its current aging and custom built RF warehouse management system.
"After conducting an in-depth search and reviewing the RF-SMART solution, it became clear that RF-SMART addresses all our major challenges," said Ben Hancock, IT Director for Britax Australia. "We needed an automated data collection solution that was fully integrated to our new ERP system and that would meet the demands of our growing manufacturing and distribution business as well as assist us with streamlining our business processes in the warehouse."
"In order to ensure a low total cost of ownership, it was vital that the integration between the warehouse RF solution and our ERP was fully certified by Microsoft to ensure we had a robust solution that wouldn't require in house development skills to maintain," Hancock stated.
RF-SMART was one of the first ISV solutions worldwide to achieve Microsoft's CfMD certification and is the only automated data collection solution certified for Microsoft Dynamics AX. RF-SMART has a proven track record for reliable performance and flexible functionality.
