Business Wire, Oct 23, 2007

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- HighJump Software, a 3M company, a global provider of supply chain execution solutions, today announced the release of a warehouse management system (WMS) specifically designed for small- and mid-size companies. Named HighJump Warehouse Advantage-45, the rapidly configured system is designed to be fully implemented within 45 business days. The solution is built upon the same world-class technology as the tier one HighJump Warehouse Advantage solution. This allows companies to support growth by adding more complex warehouse management capabilities as business demands warrant.

HighJump Software designed the new WMS specifically for smaller businesses and the challenges they face supporting growth and increasing efficiency. HighJump Warehouse Advantage-45 will deliver benefits such as tracking and visibility of inbound orders, accurate receiving, directed put-away, rapid picking, shipping and replenishment.

With a 45-day deployment timeframe, HighJump Warehouse Advantage-45 is designed to deliver rapid return on investment. Implementations will be structured by a detailed playbook directing daily activity and providing specific instructions by role and responsibility. In addition, a flexible pricing structure for the product includes both license and subscription-based options. Companies can purchase only the functionality they need, then add more complex features and modules as needed over time.

"We're excited to launch HighJump Warehouse Advantage-45 to meet a growing need for small- to mid-size companies to manage their distribution and growth," said Chad Collins, vice president of global strategy, HighJump Software. "We expect the product to have wide-scale adoption both domestically and in many of the international markets we serve."
