A Fujitsu Computer Systems Case Study

Abstract
Open seven days a week, 360 days a year and with annual sales of over
$200 million, Anthony Marano has built a cutting edge facility to
efficiently move more than one million cases of fresh produce in and
out
of the building each month. But success has not come without its
challenges. In fact, 70 to 80 percent of Anthony Marano's 2,000 to
3,000
daily orders need to be picked, packed, and shipped within hours. And
with more than 1,400 products from around the world in the warehouse at
any given time, each with varying shelf lives and storage needs,
inventory management and product pricing are complicated to say the
least.
To address these challenges, Anthony Marano automated its paper-based
front office operations with a customized real-time inventory
management
application that was built using the Microsoft.NET framework, which
runs
on a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database and is seamlessly integrated
into the company's Microsoft Dynamics financial management software.
Up-to-the-minute access to inventory data sets Anthony Marano apart
from
the competition, many of whom do not have the infrastructure to support
real-time inventory control.
