RAMCO TRADING CORP. GOES LIVE WITH MOTEK WMS®
Leading Import / Export Company Realizes Immediate Productivity Gains With Warehouse Management System Implementation

BEVERLY HILLS. CA (January 31, 2000) - Motek, the leading provider of supply chain execution systems for Microsoft Windows®, today announced that after going live in July, Ramco trading Corporation is already reporting impressive gains in productivity and inventory accuracy.

Ramco implemented Priya®, Motek's Warehouse Management System for Microsoft Windows in their 90,000 square foot warehouse this past July to replace their old paper-based warehouse management system. The paper-based system made it difficult to track Ramco's fast-moving inventory since item locations and status were not updated in real-time. This "lag time" resulted in lost merchandise in the warehouse as well as a lot of wasted time while workers searched the warehouse looking for items.

"Since implementing Priya with its real time locator, our worker productivity has improved greatly just in the few months that the system has been up" said Bret Davis, Ramco COO. "Our employees now spend more time moving product and less time looking for it. In addition, our inventory accuracy has improved to better than 99%".
