Grocery Shopping Network and HighJump Software Provide Joint Supply Chain Solution for Giant Food Stores

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 15/5/2008

HighJump Software, a 3M company, a global provider of supply chain execution solutions, and Grocery Shopping Network (GSN), a market leader in web marketing and technology for the retail grocery industry, have provided Giant Food Stores, a leading supermarket chain in the U.S., with a joint supply chain solution that advances online grocery planning and fulfillment of customer orders. The ease of planning and the efficiency of fulfillment brings a new level of quality and service to the grocery industry.

Giant Food Stores has implemented the joint solution at its Camp Hill, PA location in the form of a new Shop From Home service. As project lead, TranSystems | ESYNC performed all of the services work necessary to configure, test and support the implementation of HighJumpTM Warehouse Advantage software for use in Giant's retail outlet.

With its patent pending web content and technology, GSN connects grocery retailers with their customers at the time they are planning purchases. Once a customer has submitted an order online, it will be routed to HighJump Warehouse Advantage for picking. Associates at the retail grocery location then pick the order and have it ready at a customer-selected date and time. HighJump Warehouse Advantage is typically used to control the movement and storage of materials and goods within a warehouse setting. The fact that Giant has deployed the solution in a retail setting demonstrates the adaptability of the core HighJump Warehouse Advantage technology and makes this project a unique application of warehouse management software.
