Leading Online Supplier of Packaging Products, Paper Mart, Selects SSA Global's Supply Chain Management Solution.

CHICAGO & PHILADELPHIA -- SSA Global(TM), a leading provider of extended enterprise solutions and services, announced that one of America's largest online distributors of packaging products, Paper Mart, has selected SSA Global to streamline its supply chain planning and execution processes.

California based Paper Mart has experienced rapid growth since the mid-nineties and required a robust Supply Chain Management (SCM) solution, to address warehouse management, replenishment and forecasting needs. After a comprehensive study of leading supply chain solution providers, conducted with the assistance of a well-respected outside consulting firm, Paper Mart selected SSA Global as their supplier of choice.

"We needed to address our entire supply chain, in particular the visibility and control of our inventory," said Tom Frick, CEO of Paper Mart. "We chose SSA Global because they provide an integrated warehouse management, distribution and replenishment system, which directly addressed our primary goals of delivering timely orders to our customer at a competitive price. Additionally, SSA Global demonstrated that they could seamlessly integrate to our existing Microsoft Great Plains(TM) ERP Solution."

The tight integration of SSA SCM will help Paper Mart manage its warehouse operations and facilities with the goal to improve the flow of information, purchasing and forecasting. This will result in improved customer service and productivity for Paper Mart who currently has 10,000 products available online and 130,000 square feet of warehouse space.

SSA SCM fuses the demand chain with the supply chain to connect customers with their extended supply chain (customers, suppliers, etc.). It also ensures demand forecasting, order taking, accurate delivery dates, sourcing and manufacturing, inventory positioning, and efficient packing and shipping while maintaining a minimal finished goods inventory. SSA's Warehouse Management solutions provide end-to-end fulfillment functionality, from order inception to order shipment, and are designed for both traditional and high-volume, complex fulfillment operations. SSA Distribution Replenishment is an automated demand forecasting, planning and replenishment system that balances optimal customer service with maximum profitability.
