Expanded Product Functionality, Marquee Retail Customer Wins, and the Hiring
Of a Retail Industry Expert Are Key Components of Success
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Frontline
Solutions, HighJump Software, the premier provider of the industry's most
adaptable, extended supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, announced that it
has continued to gain momentum in the retail sector with new customer wins,
enhanced product functionality and the hiring of a key retail industry expert.
HighJump's robust solutions for supply chain execution, collectively known as
Supply Chain Advantage(TM), empower retail customers to address challenges
such as meeting the demands of more frequent and on-time store deliveries,
effectively managing flow-through, gaining visibility and control of
inventory, and driving down the amount of inventory in the supply chain. Over
the past year, HighJump's aggressive focus on the unique challenges faced by
retail companies has led to high-profile customer wins with industry leaders
such as Circuit City, Verizon and Starbucks.
Circuit City selected HighJump's solution to improve customer service and
streamline operations at all seven of its U.S. distribution facilities, while
Starbucks chose HighJump to automate its product distribution network. Like
all HighJump customers, these companies required a robust solution that
addressed their immediate needs as well as one that would respond quickly and
cost-effectively to ever-changing business requirements.
"HighJump is one of the most interesting supply chain execution solution
providers because their technology empowers companies to modify the system
without the use of custom code. This is a very rare thing in the world of
supply chain execution," said Steve Banker, ARC director of supply chain
research. "Retail DC implementations are extremely complex, and HighJump's
successful implementation at Circuit City provides further proof of the
company's high-volume, complex implementations."
In September, HighJump hired Joe Nentwig as director, retail business
development, to further drive HighJump's momentum in the retail sector. He
brings more than 20 years of retail experience to the company. Mr. Nentwig
previously served as vice president of sales at Swisslog Software and held
executive positions at Viewlocity and Manhattan Associates, with strong
accomplishments in revenue generation in retail.
"Our ability to win a number of the largest retail deals in highly
competitive situations and attract top industry talent such as Joe Nentwig, is
further validation that HighJump is a key player in the retail vertical," said
Chris Heim, president and CEO of HighJump Software. "The robust functionality
and unmatched adaptability of our solutions provide a continual source of
competitive advantage for HighJump and our customers."
