Melbourne, VIC, Australia - To improve warehouse efficiencies and ensure full Y2K compliance, Mobil Australia is implementing QSSI's Powerhouse/WMS supplied by TallShips Solutions of Ryde, NSW. Powerhouse/WMS will address Mobil's shipping documentation and picking needs and will allow them to introduce new storage and product handling efficiencies.

"The decision to upgrade was made after it was established that Y2K proofing of their existing system was not economical," explains Doug Stracey, managing director of TallShips Solutions. "They, therefore, widened the scope for a replacement warehouse management system that was Y2K compliant, would control a conveyor and Automatic Storage and Retrieval System, and improve productivity while serving their current and evolving needs."

"We looked at four different systems," says Mary Bakhoda, project manager, Lubes Operations at Mobil. "We selected PowerHouse/WMS because it is a Y2K compliant world-class system. We believe this to be a good product and we are positive that TallShips Solutions can provide us with the service and implementation assistance that we require."
