Dematic Real Time Logistics was presented with the Wesfarmers Industrial & Safety (WIS) Service Provider of the Year Award at Wesfarmers' recent Supplier of the Year Awards in Sydney.
WIS is a leading provider of industrial and safety products and services in Australia and New Zealand. Its key distribution streams include Blackwoods, Protector Alsafe, Bullivants, Total Fasteners and Coregas, servicing customers across the mining, oil and gas, energy, construction and infrastructure, manufacturing, health, transport & logistics and government sectors.
In presenting the award, WIS noted: "Dematic was integral to the wireless warehouse roll-out, providing outstanding service levels. Dematic assisted the business with a significant issue, and working with the WIS IT support team, were able to find a resolution. The Dematic team is professional and goes above and beyond the call."
Dematic's real time logistics solution for WIS included upgrading more than 100 warehouses and regional distribution centres from paper-based operations to fully integrated paperless systems, including bar-coded RF solutions, wireless LAN, RF terminals and associated printing and labelling systems.
The other two finalists in the Outstanding Service Provider category were Crown Commercial Training and Personnel Links.
The award was accepted by Nathan Taylor, general manager of Dematic Real Time Logistics.
Mr Taylor said: "The significance of this award to Dematic is that we were not only compared against other materials handling and logistics IT suppliers, but we were compared to all of WIS' providers, from transport to stationery to labour hire and the likes, and that makes receiving the award all that much more gratifying.
"Engaging key customers and suppliers in broader, deeper and stronger partnerships is fundamental to our mutual success," he said.
