Industry-Leading
Supply Chain Technology
At the heart of any Axis solution is state-of-the-art supply chain technology that optimizes the shipment and
installation process. This industry-leading technology offers complete visibility and transparency – providing
you with all of the information you need precisely when you need it.
These advanced systems include:
• Transportation Management System (TMS): Axis’ transportation management system
optimizes the shipment process to ensure that you can take advantage of every cost-saving opportunity.
Our TMS offers detailed system tracking of pickups – from your suppliers to the final delivery at your
store – along with proof of delivery tracking that provides you with names, delivery date and delivery time.
This system is also capable of sending all of the aforementioned information directly to your mobile device.
• Warehouse Management System (WMS): This powerful tool gives retailers web-enabled access
to order management and perpetual inventories by warehouse location anywhere in the world. Our WMS
provides you with catalogue searching capabilities, product images (photos, thumbnails and illustrations),
detailed product information, article level availability and outbound audit trails.
• Installation Project Management (IPM): This software integrates the status of nationwide
installation services by store number, region or campaign. The IPM system tracks installation progress and
timelines and provides the retail project manager with a single view of activity as well as progress updates
on every job. This software also provides a depository of all QC checklists, store installation images,
certificates of insurance and customer service notes for each job – all of which are viewable on the project
management portal.
• Cloud Based Technology: Axis’ retail services are linked through the cloud. Two central hubs
serve as data collection/communication centers. Each remote site sends and receives data to/from our
headquarters and an Atlanta co-location ensuring replication of all data generated.

7. Delivering Store Fixtures: How Axis S
A well-known global apparel retailer found itself dealing with the growing pains that often accompany rapid
success. Business was booming. The company already had about 1100 stores across the United States and
was planning to open 50-60 more stores domestically and 15 internationally each year. But the company
found itself struggling to manage an aspect of its business outside of its core competency – namely, the
distribution of store fixtures for new store openings and renovations.
The retailer came to realize that in order to solve this problem it needed to work with a logistics company
that had experience and expertise when it came to the handling, delivery and installation of their store
fixtures – a logistics provider that would consistently maintain the integrity of their brand. That's why the
company chose to partner with Axis.
Axis developed a customized program for this retailer that provided a single-source solution along with
technology that offered total visibility and cost control. All inventory was managed by Axis’ web based
warehouse management system and all transportation was tracked by Axis’ cutting-edge Axis Trak system.
The results for the retailer were clear and dramatic:
12
• Reduced transportation both in inbound and outbound shipping;
• True visibility into the current inventory;
• Less downtime and expense at the store level due to missed or late deliveries;
• No shrinkage of product at store site;
• Significantly less damage – accountability when damage occurred;
• Reduced man hours on-site as a result of better communication and execution;
• Greater efficiency at the corporate level in managing this program.
