Welch's Opts for Hosted VMI Solution
Welch's selects Prescient Applied Intelligence Inc. to host and maintain its entire vendor managed inventory (VMI) program. Welch's, the world's leading producer of juices, jams and jellies, has been using Prescient's VMI software since 1999 to replenish regular turn merchandise and promotional items with eight trading partners. The company services more than 100 distribution centers with 65 stock keeping units. "Prescient hosting services will provide us a cost effective solution to an internally operated installation," says Donna Rosentrater, senior manager of Application Development at Welch's. "We have a long history with Prescient and opted to have them host our VMI solution so we can concentrate our technical resources on our core business systems."
