Quote from client:
“Once our Board of Directors made the decision to take the strategic step of migrating from our own (local) systems to world-class solutions, it was up to us to establish the selection methodology and implementation strategy. These were key aspects to consider, knowing the effort and risk of any systemic implementation.
During the process we reviewed several WMS alternatives and at least 3 of them satisfactorily complied with the functionalities required by the logistic companies of the MEGACENTRO NETWORK, for which our vision pointed to the consultant team of each bidder and also to the experiences in WMS implementations in large customers.
This look helped us make the decision to choose Cerca Technology, with whom we already form a robust team in Chile. “- Ricardo Cox, General Manager of Megalogística.
“We are aware of the benefits and challenges that this future implementation entails, which is why we have assigned a multidisciplinary team to ensure that we explore the main features of INFOR SCE and translate the best practices into the business.
On the other hand, the implementation of a software of this level in the organization, implies changes derived from high impact in terms of professionalizing and giving value in the activities of the people, since through the efficiency that this will contribute to the processes of execution, visualize reducing execution activities, and expanding services for evaluation and continuous improvement, which ultimately result in the differentiation and customer service that characterizes us “- Makarena Guardia, Sub-Manager of Control and Management.
