Core Solutions wins Kmart supplier of the year award

Core Solutions and Dematic Real Time Logistics were named joint winners of Kmart’s Supplier of the Year Award for Project Innovation.

Core Solutions won for the development and delivery of software services to manage Kmart’s product sourcing and delivery operations.

Dematic won for the design and rollout of radio frequency (RF) and mobility equipment, as well as its work on Kmart’s new sorter systems.

Kmart general manager – information technology, David Keil, presented Dematic’s award to the firm’s general manager – real time logistics, Nathan Taylor. Greg Hacket accepted the award on behalf of Core Solutions.

Core Solutions software services were implemented to replace Kmart’s previous data management methods for product sourcing and delivery.

Before 2009, Kmart Australia had relied on a series of spreadsheets, combined with email, phone calls, and shared documents to manage this aspect of the business.

Cependant, these earlier methods of storing, updating and sharing information needed to be more accurate and efficient.

By January 2010, Kmart Australia had started using Core Solutions to manage its product life cycle management (PLM), global sourcing for finished goods, costing and quotes acceptance, product quality and audit controls, compliance management, electronic document management, fournisseurs, traceability, quote requests and order management.

Core Solutions implemented the system in keeping with Kmart’s preference for Software as a Service (Saas) delivered over the Cloud. This came with managed services from Core Solutions running on an IBM infrastructure.
