HighJump Software, a 3M company, today announced that AMR Research recognized HighJump as having the highest customer referenceability rankings in a report evaluating 18 warehouse management system vendors. The report, "The 2005 AMR Research Warehouse Management System Selection Guide," distinguished HighJump Software as a best-of-breed leader in the warehouse management system industry.

HighJump's rankings resulted from positive interviews with customers across a number of industries. Those interviewed commended the HighJump system's flexible architecture, robust functionality and ease of upgrades.

According to report authors Greg Aimi, Bob Locke and Joe Souza, "A strong technology story (service-oriented architecture) and enthusiastic customers, along with strong functionality in all areas were noted by (HighJump's) references ... 3PL customers praised the value of the flexible configurability of HighJump's service-oriented architecture and its ability to keep them on the upgrade path."

"We often hear from our customers that HighJump's culture and customer-first philosophy set us apart from other supply chain execution vendors," said Chris Heim, president of HighJump Software. "AMR Research's positive findings further confirm HighJump's steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction."
