DiCentral and Capacity Warehouse: A Perfect Fit

DiCentral was not the first EDI provider Capacity LLC utilized as part of its offering of third party fulfillment services, but they have proved to be the most successful partner for Capacity. The North Brunswick, NJ-based third party warehousing and fulfillment company had a significant need for EDI, with a solution they could trust. A diverse client list with many different shipping and labeling needs further cemented the necessity for an EDI provider with a focus on the vendor. Capacity conducted an extensive search for a value-added-network (VAN) which could support their rapidly growing business, with multiple clients and multiple trading partners. Once Capacity located DiCentral 3 years ago, a noted similarity in the two companies' client-based focus was immediately recognized.

“As a third party logistics provider, we receive our customers’ merchandise from their manufacturers,” says Thomas Campbell, Capacity LLC’s chief strategic officer and founding partner. “We store them in both physical and electronic inventory.” Capacity receives orders from customers electronically – through the online application they offer, through EDI, or via program links to accounting packages at Web sites.

Mr. Campbell recognized the difference with DiCentral; “We worked with other providers who gave IT and Operations much less attention. Our former EDI provider was inflexible. We had to write internal batch files for each client. With DiCentral and its ASP model, we have complete transparency into all of our various customer relationships. DiCentral - like us - supports a multiple client environment. It has information which is available to our clients so they can bypass us and see outstanding PO’s and other customer reports. With flexibility, DiCentral has been an extraordinarily powerful tool for our business." DiCentral not only focuses on the needs of the individual vendor, but also allows our facility to manage clients of all sizes with the right interface for us.”

Tom mentioned two companies his warehouse works with regularly whose business has been positively affected by DiCentrals’ capabilities. Bliss World LLC, a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels (NYSE symbol HOT), currently trades with over 30 major retailers, with 5-8 new partners coming aboard monthly. Lancer and Loader LLC, a new vendor founded in May of 2005, focuses on new consumer products. Shawn Glyn of Lancer and Loader group said that, “after an extensive amount of research, we believe we have found the best partner in warehousing & distribution through Capacity LLC.” DiCentral works with Capacity Warehouse, LLC every step of the way to make certain such statements are true, both for the vendor and Capacity Warehouse.

Whether an established supplier with numerous major retailers in their fold, or a startup venture new to the industry, DiCentral allows any supplier working with a 3rd Party Logistics provider to easily process orders and coordinate shipping requirements, with the knowledge that DiCentral has their needs in mind.

DIreplenish: Scan-Based Trading at the Next Level

DiCentral is proud to introduce our DIreplenish tool, specifically created with the growing needs of the supplier in mind. Using this tool, the complex tasks of managing point of sale data, verifying in-store inventories, and calculating in-transit merchandise are automatic and easily implemented with accuracy and efficiency.

Scan-Based Trading has been proven to increase supply chain efficiency at every level by reducing labor cost. Also, many major retailers are asking for this type of relationship with their vendors, as inventory ownership moves to the vendors. Collaborative forecasting and replenishment models are produced through our simple, fast interface. Specific inventories are analyzed, no matter how many locations, and orders are produced the way your business needs them to be produced, with your rules and policies as the priority.

Never before have the expectations of the retail customer been as demanding and never before has your business had such an opportunity.
