Boardriders gets Canada's Longbow Advantage for warehouse visibility

Rebus is a unified supply chain visibility platform that provides real-time views into the warehouse for distribution teams who need access to make point-in-time decisions about their warehouse operations, labour management, and inventory. It results in real-time visibility to critical data needed for better business decisions, Longbow said in a media statement.

With retail purchases rising and the labour market shrinking, warehouses and distribution centres are under a tremendous amount of pressure to continually optimise internal warehouse processes, as well as the workforce that is running the facility. Rebus Warehouse Visibility is the only solution that provides real-time visibility into the heart of the supply chain—the warehouse. It enables teams to see and react to activities in the warehouse when they happen, across distribution centres and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to make more intelligent decisions.

"We were looking for a solution that could provide us with the critical information and visibility we did not have with our current platform. Our reality involved making decisions on gut instinct and sporadic reporting throughout our workday. Rebus will provide us with unprecedented access into what is really going on in our warehouse—up to the minute—with real-time knowledge of what we are receiving or sending out of our warehouses. While the initial value will come with the increased warehouse visibility, Rebus' intelligent labour management will then help us to better utilise our workforce, giving us insight into every action scheduled and in process, to attain optimum productivity in our warehouses,” Cory Durrett, director of inventory control, Boardriders said in a statement.

“We are incredibly pleased for the opportunity to help Boardriders take its warehouse visibility to the next level, fine tune areas of the warehouse, and optimise labour management with unmatched visibility. The future of warehouses and distribution centres all rely on full visibility into every crevice of a facility. The insight Rebus provides will help increase throughput in the warehouse and maintain high worker productivity while meeting accuracy and stringent customer delivery requirements,” Alex Wakefield, CEO of Longbow Advantage said.
