) is implementing ClearOrbit's Compliance Label Manager (CLM CLM - Career Limiting Move ) across all nine of its U.S.-based warehouse and distribution centers. The first in a series of upgrades, which will include RFID capabilities and collaboration tools, the CLM solution enhances WWT's ability to rapidly respond to the daily supply chain demands for hundreds of its clients. WWT manages the procurement and deployment process for these clients, while providing access to state-of-the-art procurement, inventory management, and deployment management applications. WWT has been using ClearOrbit's Gemini Series since 2000 to automate material movement and replenishment transactions at inventory hubs, but WWT needed the expanded functionality of CLM to keep pace with rapidly changing OEM customer requirements.

ClearOrbit's Compliance Label Manager is part of the Connected Pro Series, which includes RFID Tracker and Collaborative Print Manager, both of which are supply chain execution solutions pre-integrated into major ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer.  systems such as Oracle and SAP. These rules-based solutions automate adherence to stringent customer standards and guidelines that are integral parts of WWT's high-velocity supply chain capabilities. CLM enables dynamic label changes without modifying or customizing software code and is fully compatible with ClearOrbit's entire family of solutions, as well as other supply chain applications

"They also wanted a solution that was pre-integrated to their Oracle ERP, and offered future RFID and Collaborative upgrades with the same 'future proof' characteristics. All of ClearOrbit's customers are seeking extensions to their supply chain solutions that avoid the expense of custom code and protect them from all the unknown costs of integrating to future versions of ERP systems. We are delighted to bolster World Wide Technology's supply chain capabilities with their decision to implement CLM in all of their U.S. distribution and warehouse facilities."

"Customer responsiveness is critical in our business," said Mark Franke, Vice President of IT at World Wide Technology. "Order accuracy means not only shipping the right item at the right time, but making sure it is labeled properly per our customers' changing requirements. With the implementation of ClearOrbit's CLM we can dramatically speed up our response time on custom labels for any of the several hundred supply chain clients we serve daily without tying up IT development resources or writing custom code. The fact that CLM supports RFID tagging and supplier collaboration also means we are investing in an infrastructure that will grow with us in the future."
