Pillow
and duvet manufacturer, Comfy Quilts is implementing the Snapfulfil
SaaS WMS to provide inventory visibility and control across its retail
and wholesale warehousing operations, including a new 110,000 sq ft
facility at Stakehill Industrial Estate in Manchester.
With
over 40 years’ heritage, Comfy Quilts has grown to become one of
Europe’s leading manufacturers of quilts, pillows, mattress covers and
bed linen. Today, the company makes and supplies products to retailers
throughout the UK and manufactures under license for leading brands
including Silentnight, Sealy and Jeff Banks at Home.
Snapfulfil
will be used to manage 200,000 sq ft of warehousing space across two
sites – a 90,000 sq ft warehouse attached to the Comfy Quilts’
manufacturing plant and the new, 110,000 sq ft facility nearby.
Snapfulfil is fully integrated with Comfy Quilts’ SAGE system to provide
complete visibility to raw materials, production and sales orders and
finished goods inventories, streamlining the flow of materials and
products in line with demand. Across the two sites, Comfy Quilts will
have 55 Snapfulfil users.
To
meet Comfy Quilts’ specific requirements, Snapfulfil is being supplied
on a software and hosting only basis, with the customer taking the
decision to purchase the hardware outright.
Comfy Quilts’ Logistics Manager, Mark Farrell says:
“Our SAGE system could just about cope when we only had the one
warehouse but we knew that it wouldn’t work across two sites. Snapfulfil
offered the functionality we needed and the flexibility for us to
license the software and buy the hardware.As
well as Tier 1 functionality, we also needed a resilient platform to
guarantee the performance and availability of the system – Snapfulfil’s
SaaS model means that our WMS is hosted in a Tier 1 data centre which
few businesses could justify using themselves. The centralised location
of the application means that things like routine back-ups, upgrades,
admin and maintenance are all taken care of by Snapfulfil, allowing us
to focus on our core business.”
