HighJump Software, a 3M company, the global leader in providing highly adaptable, best-of-breed supply chain execution solutions, today announced that all HighJump customers that selected its RFID compliance solution were fully operational by the January compliance timelines. Each of these companies successfully deployed HighJump's Compliance Advantage RFID solution, a comprehensive, scalable application specifically designed to meet the RFID program requirements of major retailers and the Department of Defense.
These implementations, in industries such as third-party logistics, consumer packaged goods, and food and beverage, provide RFID-based inventory tracking of cases and pallets between HighJump's customers and their trading partners. The success of the implementations was made possible through a combination of HighJump's highly adaptable product architecture, focused project management expertise, best practices-based implementation methodology and strong partner alliances.
HighJump's functionally robust solutions are unique and forward-looking. They provide the basis for a scalable infrastructure, capable of pushing RFID deployment beyond shipping doors into other warehouse and manufacturing operations. HighJump's common platform, database, Web user interface and set of adaptability tools, used across all of its solutions to help ensure data consistency and interoperability, represent a unique approach in the marketplace.
HighJump's RFID product line includes solutions for compliance, warehouse management, manufacturing, and mobile asset tracking. Each of these solutions is easily configurable and able to adapt to changing processes in fluctuating environments, protecting a company's long-term total cost of ownership. This unique level of adaptability and flexibility is a critical component required to successfully and cost-effectively deploy and manage a dynamic, emerging technology such as RFID.
"We met our RFID tagging requirements on time," said Bob Spieth, CIO, Ozburn-Hessey Logistics. "The HighJump system's adaptability was key because it allowed us to make quick changes as RFID requirements evolved."
According to Greg Ehlert, supply chain director, 3M Consumer and Office Business, "The flexibility of the HighJump solution helped 3M put an effective compliance program in place without interrupting operations. We are confident the Compliance Advantage solution will enable us to meet future customer RFID requirements."
"HighJump is pleased that its customers were prepared to meet the January RFID timelines on schedule," said Mark Eischens, RFID product manager, HighJump Software. "The dedication of our customers and technology partners, uniqueness of our solutions, and strength of our staff was essential to making these projects so successful."
