As division head of a global paper goods distributor, Jan had especially high standards to meet. Her customers expected zero shipping errors and rapid order turnaround times. To keep customers happy and still be able to improve the company's bottom line, Jan's automated the distribution center with Microsoft-based warehouses software. The result was a 50% decrease in pick errors, a 20% increase in picker productivity and reduced expedited shipping costs in the hundreds of thousands. What's more, the warehouses software's real time order status gave customers added value which translated into record growth and a better market position. Jan's strategy didn't just revolutionize the way her company served customers it changed the way they managed their business. Jan's company no longer needed to store pallets of products to take advantage of volume discounts. It could now afford to purchase smaller, more accurate shipments at the best prices. It was no surprise to us that Jan was subsequently asked to join her company's board of directors.
