         <title>WMS Slotting Optimization</title>
         <description><![CDATA[One of the most critical decisions you make is the physical location of inventory in your warehouse. Correctly locating your inventory is essential to ensure your workforce fills orders quickly, accurately and safely. Ordering trends are constantly changing and keeping up with those trends is simple by providing intuitive, easy to use slot optimizing applications.<br />
<ul><a name="a"></a><li><b>Zone Picking: </b>Configuring your warehouse into zones is a proven strategy that allows picking documents to print in batches. This allows your workforce to travel in a logical route, which in turn increases fill rates, and reduces time spent per order.</li>
<a name="b"></a><li><b>Fill Rate/Shipping Volume Analytics: </b>Having the ability to track order fill rates is paramount when determining how quickly fast moving items are packed & shipped. Using our analytics applications will allow you to analyze your current warehouse setup and determine if modifications are needed.</li>
<a name="c"></a><li><b>Suggested Inventory Putaway: </b>Suggested putaway provides the user with a suggested location while locating inventory. This function ensures that inventory is located in the most efficient location, but still offers the user the ability to override if necessary.</li>
<a name="d"></a><li><b>Location Cubing: </b>Entering the dimensions of your locations allows you to make important decisions when locating inventory. Moving inventory to a location that is too small wastes time, and potentially creates operational bottlenecks.</li></ul>

         <title>WMS Inventory Management</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Even small variances in inventory can have huge repercussions in your warehouse. Caught with too little inventory, and you have rush charges, express delivery fees and unhappy customers. Order too much inventory and you increase costs and risk write-offs for obsolete or expired goods. Accessing accurate real-time inventory information is paramount to the success of your business. The ABS Warehouse Management System offers intuitive, easy-to-use applications that allow your users to access data from a work station or a hand-held Radio Frequency device.<br /><br />
<ul>
<a name="a"></a><li><b>Inventory by Location: </b>Tracking your inventory at the location level not only increases efficiency & productivity, it also greatly reduces the risk for "Bad Picks" which often result in unsatisfied customers. Locations are easily configured, and allow you to manage your inventory properly.</li>
<a name="b"></a><li><b>Receiving: </b>Whether you're using RF (Radio Frequency) devices, or fixed workstations, we offer easy to use solutions to track receiving events, update inventory, and barcode stock, while maintaining accurate data real time.</li>
<a name="c"></a><li><b>Adjustments: </b>Manage your inventory easily with our inventory adjustment application. We offer the ability to increment or decrement your inventory by single units or cases while tracking each event real time.</li>
<a name="d"></a><li><b>Cycle Counts: </b>We offer the ability to replace your inventory by location by scanning single units or cases while tracking each event real time.</li>
<a name="e"></a><li><b>Movements: </b>Often times it is necessary to relocate older stock to make room for newer or faster moving items. Moving inventory is easily performed by scanning single items, cases, or pallets.</li>
<a name="f"></a><li><b>Transaction History: </b>Tracking each event that occurs in your facility is key component of any successful supply chain. We provide robust, easy to use date inquiries and reports. Due to the fact that all transactions are real time, you can expect accurate data quickly and easily when you need it.</li>

         <title>ABS Customer Recognized  as All-Star</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Posted On <a href="http://www.apparelmag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=MultiPublishing&mod=PublishingTitles&mid=CD746117C0BB4828857A1831CE707DBE&tier=4&id=EABD34B9D5604E12828BB829A059A64E">Apparel Magazine Website</a>:&nbsp;12/11/2009</font><br /><br />
<span class="ArticleTitle">LaCrosse Footwear</span><br />
Chelan David<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.lacrossefootwear.com">LaCrosse Footwear</a> has come a long way over the past 112 years. In 1897, the company began manufacturing rubber horseshoes in La Crosse, WI, on a patch of land reputedly owned by "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Today, LaCrosse is a leading provider of premium work and outdoor footwear, apparel and accessories. Synonymous with high quality authentic footwear, the brand develops a product that its customers know and trust.<br /><br />
Intent on thriving in an increasingly competitive marketplace, the company focuses on continual innovation and consistently delivers a high level of customer service and operational excellence. Relationships play an important role in the overall vision. Strong bonds have been forged with long-time customers as well as suppliers and employees. The strategy is to win as a team by thinking progressively and staying ahead of the curve while paying careful attention to details.<br /><br />
"We believe in individual accountability, open communication and teamwork," says David Carlson, LaCrosse's executive vice president and CFO. "We are here to improve the customer experience and we believe in both product and service excellence. Long-term strategic planning followed by daily execution is essential."<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Always evolving</strong></span><br />
The company's <a href="http://www.lacrossefootwear.com">LaCrosse</a> and <a href="http://www.danner.com">Danner</a> brands are sold to a network of specialty retailers and distributors in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Work customers include those in law enforcement, transportation, oil and gas exploration and extraction, mining, construction, military services and other occupations that require high-<br />
performance and protective footwear and apparel. The outdoor segment includes people active in hunting, hiking and other outdoor and cold weather recreational activities.<br /><br />
LaCrosse is always seeking to improve and evolve its product line, says Carlson. An example of this is the evolution of its scent-free footwear. In 1957, the first LaCrosse scent-free rubber hunting boot was introduced to the market. Six years later, another scent-free hunting boot was developed: the Burly. While rubber provided an excellent barrier against wet conditions, it lacked proper insulation, so the entire foot - from under the arch up to the ankle - was lined with a wool-felt and foam insulation. In addition to being scent free, the Burly also provided additional warmth for the hunter and even helped ease the process of pulling the boot on and off.<br /><br />
In 1995, LaCrosse launched the first rubber-over-neoprene hunting boot with the introduction of the Alpha. The Alpha technology was developed in order to cover the more comfortable neoprene lining with the waterproof and scent-free rubber exterior. Alpha Lite was introduced in 1998 to help hunters track prey over longer distances and the Alpha SST was launched in 2009.<br /><br />
The Alpha SST utilizes a scent-suppressing removable gator, which combats odor forming bacteria and locks in any remaining odor, effectively allowing the hunter to vanish from its prey. "To this day the LaCrosse Alpha technology remains the leader in the market and the Alpha SST showcases a collaboration of years of ingenuity, research and development giving the hunter the ability to hunt without a trace," says Carlson.<br /><br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>From Portland to Afghanistan</strong></span><br />
LaCrosse expertly blends innovation with craftsmanship through high standards in design, materials and production, says Carlson. The Danner brand was brought into the company fold in 1932, and to this day, uses only the highest grade of leathers and components. Much of the production is still done by hand.<br /><br />
The ability to deliver products that offer repeatable comfort and durability, as well as specific benefits for the end user, helps set the brand apart. An example that Carlson gives is Danner's work with the U.S. Army and Marines to develop footwear made in the United States that stands up to the harsh environments in Afghanistan.<br /><br />
"We are honored to support our men and women in uniform by delivering premium performance footwear built to meet the specific requirements for multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces," says Carlson. "In fact, every U.S. Marine and U.S. Army soldier deployed in Afghanistan is currently issued a pair of Danner boots produced at our factory in Portland, OR."<br /><br />
Recently, a second shift and 75 new workers were added at the factory in order to meet the military demand. In the face of a global economic slowdown, LaCrosse has managed to not only survive, but thrive.<br /><br />
Over the past five years, LaCrosse has consistently grown revenues by 8 percent to 10 percent each year. In 2006, the company's new Portland headquarters and distribution center was unveiled. In 2007, a liaison office in China was opened and the following year the firm's European subsidiary was established in Copenhagen, Denmark. This year, a 380,000-square-foot distribution center was opened in Indianapolis.
<br /><br />
"These investments were made to accommodate the growth, improve the customer experience and broaden our customer base," says Carlson.<br /><br />
In addition to the new facilities and outposts, LaCrosse has invested in developing tools such as "Outpost" that track and place orders and provide real time inventory availability to customers.<br /><br />
The company also has a strategic partnership with Apparel Business Systems (ABS), whose software focuses on the footwear and apparel industry. Carlson says the company understands the demands of the retail market, that "buyers need real-time access to our inventories and that product must ship immediately." The company has found ABS to be an effective and affordable tool for managing the company's end-to-end supply chain from forecasting, sourcing and order entry to inventory control and distribution, says Carlson.<br /><br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Giving back</strong></span><br />
LaCrosse concentrates donation efforts towards local and national social needs, youth, and environmental issues that pertain to the company's end consumers and corporate ethics. Beneficiaries include the Marine Family Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Boy Scouts and the Special Olympics. Also, boots are donated locally in Portland each week to Birch Gleaners, an organization that helps the working poor get back on their feet.<br /><br />
On the environmental front, LaCrosse has worked to incorporate sustainability into its facilities through recycling and carpooling incentives. The corporate headquarters and Danner distribution center are powered by clean wind energy and the new LaCrosse distribution center in Indianapolis is LEED gold certified.<br /><br />
On the product side, the Danner Recrafting program adds life to boots by repairing and reconditioning them. Because many Danner boots can be recrafted by replacing the outsole, reworking the leather and restitching the seams, the product lifecycle is lengthened and boots are kept from landfills.<br /><br />

         <title>How To Get Support</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<h2>How to get help from ABS</h2>
When you have an issue or a question about ABS, you have several ways to contact our support team and report your issues and requests. Emailing to <a href="Support@ApparelBusiness.com">Support@ApparelBusiness.com</a> is the best way to enter a new Service Request.<br /><br />
The Customer Portal is the best way to check on existing Service Requests and to update and annotate the existing Service Requests.<br /><br />
<b>Your responsibilities</b><br />
<b>Do this and you may not need our help.</b><br />
Designate a ABS Administrator to funnel all your service requests through. Unfortunately, we cannot support all of your end users directly. You should have one user at your company designated as the ABS Administrator. Let everyone there know who that is. All your users problems, issues and requests should be reported to your ABS Administrator. We will work with your administrator to resolve issues and teach them how to get the most from ABS. Your administrator will become your in-house guru for ABS. We will focus our efforts in making your administrator very knowledgeable and will coach them on troubleshooting tips and tricks. After a while your admin will be able to resolve many common issues and answer most user questions.<br /><br />

How to get Help from ABS 
Email a Service Request onto our Service Board! This is the best and simplest way to enter a new Service Request.  When you send an email to <a href="Support@ApparelBusiness.com">Support@ApparelBusiness.com</a> , the email is automatically entered on our service board and we are notified.  Your request is also automatically escalated.  You should use the Customer Portal to check on your Service Requests. Please do not send another email to <a href="Support@ApparelBusiness.com">Support@ApparelBusiness.com</a> to check on your Service issues; each email to that address starts a new Service Request.<br /><br />

Help us Help you. Include this information in your email:
<ol>
<li class="listd"><b>Good description of the problem</b> in the body & a good summary of the problem on the email subject line.</li>
<li class="listd"><b>Screen shot.</b> Screen shots tell us a lot. </li>
<li class="listd"><b>Error message.</b> If you get an error message, open it up and cut/paste it into your email.</li>
<li class="listd"><b>User name</b> that had the problem and what they were doing at the time. </li>
<li class="listd"><b>Name of the screen and tab</b> you were on when you had the problem.<br />Example: OE:11 - Customer Maintenance</li>
<li class="listd"><b>Do not copy your email to others at ABS.</b> You don't need to. It breaks our support process, causes miscommunication and confuses us.  You could receive no response because everyone thinks that the "other person" is handling it. So please just send it to <a href="Support@ApparelBusiness.com">Support@ApparelBusiness.com</a></li>
<li class="listd"><b>Include the Service Ticket &#35; in the Email Subject.</b> When referring to existing tickets it is important to include the original Service Ticket &#35; to avoid the creation of a new ticket and assignment to a different technician.</li>
</ol><br />
<b>Customer Portal - <a href="http://www.apparelbusiness.com">www.ApparelBusiness.com</a></b>
Enter and review your requests directly in the Customer Portal. Just go to the Client Login area on <a href="http://www.apparelbusiness.com">http://www.ApparelBusiness.com</a> and login.  We record everything here and we share it with you. If you are the ABS Admin, send an email to <a href="Support@ApparelBusiness.com">Support@ApparelBusiness.com</a> with your desired password and we will get you setup.<br /><br />
<b>Phone  610-592-0880 Option 2</b>
We need you to use this choice sparingly.  When you call, you will either speak with one of our Support Team members or be able to leave a message. The message is automatically put on our Service Board.<br /><br />

"As a fashion footwear company, Mia Shoes was looking for a best of breed ERP solution that would sustain our fashion footwear business processes not only today but equally important, tomorrow.  That solution was ABS. In evaluating ABS as a solution to our ERP needs, our organization carefully evaluated factors such as approach to implementation, industry specific knowledge of the ABS training and support staff, and overall strategy to align with our organizational goals as growing fashion footwear company.<br><br>
I have personally found the ABS team to be effective communicators who establish an understanding of the customer environment, maintain a focus on the customer's needs, manage realistic expectations and deliver quality outcomes.  We are very satisfied with our decision to select ABS as our ERP solution.<br><br>Neil Strauss<br>Mia Shoes

business has never been more important than it is today and is<br>
critical to making good business decisions. However, knowing<br>
where to find it can be a very tedious task, looking through old<br>
reports, manually adding numbers in spreadsheets etc. and by<br>
the time it is complete the data is no longer relevant and is filled<br>
with inaccuracies from transcription errors or just wrong<br>calculations.<br /><br />
