Gridiron Lowers Order Fulfillment Cost with New RFID Technology

SEATTLE, WA, December 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) Gridiron Fulfillment, a leading fulfillment warehousing company, has adopted new RFID technology that combines enhanced efficiency and communication with significantly lower costs for its customers.

Gridiron manages the fulfillment needs of many businesses simultaneously and each of its customers looks to Gridiron for speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness. While many fulfillment services continue to rely on spreadsheets for managing inventory and email for communicating with customers, Gridiron has committed to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology throughout its operation. The RFID system tracks all facets of inventory and order management, processing inbound inventory, item quantity and order pulling, packing and shipment.

In addition to the obvious virtues of automating the warehouse, the Gridiron system gives customers online access to their data, allowing customers to track inventory levels, place orders and, through seamless integration with the FedEx system, determine delivery status on a real-time basis. Automatic notifications keep customers in touch when inventory levels need to be replenished. For customers concerned that their own systems have to be scrapped or, at the very least, adapted to work well with Gridiron's technology, the Gridiron system has been designed with flexibility in mind. It can integrate with existing customer systems without losing a step. Customers can interface with Gridiron, and vice versa, getting all of the benefits of enhanced information and tracking without having to reinvent the wheel.

The Gridiron system also includes a mobile component that puts smart devices into employees' hands in the warehouse. This implementation tackles one part of the order fulfillment process that has often been vulnerable to human error. The device integrates RFID and barcode elements that automate a critical part of the fulfillment process, simultaneously eliminating human mistakes and speeding order flow.

Gridiron's staff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to order fulfillment, backed by over 25 years as logistics specialists. The company's latest innovations, like all of Gridiron's endeavors, are aimed squarely at providing customers with best-in-class solutions in the most cost-effective manner. By lowering costs while enhancing service, accuracy and speed, the implementation of new RFID technology makes for a welcome addition from any perspective.
