LOS
ANGELES and MONTREAL, May 13, 2024
/CNW/ - SDI Element Logic, a leading provider of materials handling
systems and technology solutions to the retail, wholesale,
fulfillment, and E-commerce industries, and Reitmans (Canada) Limited ("RCL") (TSXV: RET)
(TSXV: RET-A), Canada's
leading specialty apparel retailer, are pleased to announce the
installation of a streamlined SORTRAK inventory management system
at RCL's Montreal, Québec,
distribution center.
This cutting-edge material handling solution replaces six
existing sorters, the first of which was installed by SDI Element
Logic in 1996.
"Our 30-year partnership with SDI Element Logic continues to
drive innovation at RCL," Domenic
Carbone, Vice President, Distribution & Logistics at
RCL, said. "We are excited about the new SORTRAK project and look
forward to the next chapter in our ongoing strategic relationship
with SDI Element Logic."
As part of RCL's initiative to modernize its supply chain
infrastructure, the introduction of this new high‑capacity sorter
will ensure RCL remains at the technological forefront of the
continuously changing retail landscape.
"Implementing the SORTRAK will enhance our efficiency through a
significant reduction in the number of touches per item, and by
making better use of our space," Carbone added. "As a result, we
will improve service levels for our retail operations through
improved accuracy, while streamlining inventory and shipping
processes."
Christopher Larkins, President of
SDI Element Logic, has closely collaborated with Reitmans since
1994, observing the growth of their mutually beneficial
relationship as retail has evolved from solely brick-and-mortar to
today's omni-channel shopping experience.
"SORTRAK's innovative design permits versatile warehouse
configurations, meaning RCL can install longer sorters in its
existing space," Larkins stated. "Reitmans can now configure
multiple flows through a single sorter, thereby optimizing the
operation of its facility."
By embracing SDI Element Logic's advanced automation
technologies and replacing its current sorters with a SORTRAK
system – known for its efficiency and adaptability – RCL has
demonstrated its commitment to enhanced operational efficiency and
improved customer satisfaction.
"As we continue to innovate and evolve Reitmans' supply chain
operations, we grow together," Larkins added. "Our long-time
partnership highlights a shared commitment to innovation and
quality in retail and ecommerce operations, and to delivering
unparalleled service and value to Reitmans' customers."
