Manhattan Associates Strengthens Relationship with Voxware

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:25:00 -0600

HAMILTON, NJ – January 30, 2012 – Voxware, a leading supplier of software applications for voice-driven warehousing operations, and Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ: MANH), the leading supply chain optimization company, announced that Voxware has become a member of Manhattan’s Value Partner program. Prior to this, in July 2011, the two companies entered into an agreement making Manhattan Associates a reseller of Voxware’s voice solutions. These agreements facilitate a very close working relationship to ensure the companies continue to provide value-based solutions to Manhattan customers.

Voice technology uses speech recognition and speech synthesis to allow distribution center workers to communicate with the Warehouse Management solution to improve accuracy and productivity in tasks such as Order Picking, Goods Receiving, Pallet Put-away and Let-down, and Stock Checking.

The agreement paves the way for Manhattan WMS customers to leverage voice solutions for key business initiatives supporting customer satisfaction, retention and competitiveness through further supply chain optimization.

“Our customers continue to push us to provide solutions which improve accuracy and efficiency in the supply chain, and the Voxware voice solution meets those requirements very well,” said Jeff Cashman, senior vice president of Business Development for Manhattan Associates. “The value of our combined solutions has already been validated by the success of our shared customers.”

“We chose the Voxware voice solution because it is highly configurable and could be integrated quickly into our Manhattan Associates WMS,” said Peter Kok, Director of Supply Chain Process Development at Carter’s Inc, the world’s number one children’s clothing brand. “Other voice technology would have required us to make changes to the Manhattan system, but with Voxware we saved time and money because no such modifications were needed.”

“Manhattan Associates and Voxware share a common focus on software innovation that delivers practical business value,” said Keith Phillips, Voxware CEO. “With this partnership, committed Manhattan customers like Carters will be able to implement voice solutions that improve supply chain accuracy and efficiency more rapidly. The result is accelerated realization of strategic business goals focused on increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.”

The Voxware solution is available immediately from Manhattan Associates, and includes voice directed work solutions that optimize tasks performed by the warehouse workforce.

The Warehouse Manager’s Handbook

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:21:00 -0500

Although other voice picking systems were considered, Voxware’s customer service was a huge selling point, says Abbott, noting that his experience with voice picking vendors earlier in his career helped him appreciate the value of a vendor who was there throughout the process, not to mention for post-installation support.

HAMILTON, NJ – October 4, 2011 – Voxware, the largest independent voice software company serving the supply chain market, became the first such vendor to announce support for Google’s Android operating system.

Voice recognition: Enabling diversity in the warehouse

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:14:00 -0500

Anyone who has walked through a warehouse or DC in recent years knows that diversity is an opportunity and a challenge for warehouse managers trying to maintain a stable workforce in their facilities. So I was intrigued when Steve Gerrard, vice president of marketing for Voxware, proposed a conversation about voice recognition technology as an enabler of diversity.

Voxware Appoints Keith Phillips as CEO

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:33:00 -0500

HAMILTON, NJ – September 16, 2011 – Voxware, a leading supplier of software applications for voice-driven warehousing operations, announced today that Keith Phillips has been appointed to the position of President and CEO.

Voxware Releases Version 4.1 of Popular Voxware 3 Software Product

Tue, 17 May 2011 18:41:00 -0500

HAMILTON, NJ – May 17, 2011 – Voxware, a leading supplier of software for voice-driven warehousing operations, announced the release of version 4.1 of the Voxware 3 software product suite.

“This is a significant release that increases the functional richness of Voxware 3,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. “It continues our track record of providing new capabilities requested by customers, and making those features available in follow-on releases to all customers who purchased the requisite applications.”

Release 4.1 includes a long list of technical and functional enhancements. Among them are provisions for advanced “Bucket Brigade” picking, where assignments are passed from one worker to the next as orders are fulfilled. Also included is a console feature enabling site managers to batch and split multiple assignments, which transparently augments WMS functionality and allows for on-the-spot decision-making that maximizes available resources.

Another major capability is the built-in WMS Adapter Framework. This visual integration tool has been proven to dramatically reduce the time and cost to build and maintain voice interfaces with virtually any WMS, and makes it far easier to evolve the way voice is used by an operation than is possible with other approaches.

New mobility devices have been certified with this release, units manufactured by LXE, Motorola and Psion.

“We work directly with the manufacturers and try to provide support for new devices in each major release of Voxware 3,” said Yetter. “This gets us ahead of the curve, and provides our customers with a range of choices when they need them. Every Voxware 3 application is portable across all certified devices, so no coding changes are needed if a customer moves from one certified device to another – and we are the only voice vendor offering that kind of future-proofing capability.”

Voxware 3 Release 4.1 is immediately available from Voxware.

Other Voices: Conquering the Curse of the Warehouse

Tue, 10 May 2011 12:49:00 -0500

Many enterprises operate in markets that reward agility in distribution logistics, yet they struggle with warehouse technologies that are rigid and expensive to change. The paradox is that the very technologies which boosted performance when first implemented can become a boat anchor preventing the operation from evolving to the next level.

Supply Chain Comment: Voice Picking And The Cost Of Change

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0500

In an industry that values nimbleness and the ability to quickly change one’s operation for the better, it is ironic that so few companies are actually prepared to do so. Advanced technologies such as voice picking can bring this paradox into bold relief, and it can be instructive to dig into the underlying reasons.

Portable voice from Voxware

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 07:56:00 -0500

If you use Microsoft Office on a Dell laptop, the same software will work on a Windows machine from HP, Acer or Sony without rewriting a line of code. In other words, the software is portable from one device to another.

Voxware (Booth 3672) is promoting portability for voice recognition solutions as well. “We believe there is a difference between supporting various device platforms from hardware vendors like LXE and Motorola and a truly portable platform,” said Stephen Gerrard, VP of marketing and strategic planning at a booth visit on Wednesday. “With a truly portable voice solution, you can work on a Motorola device today and switch to a new device from LXE tomorrow, all without rewriting a line of code.”

Supply Chain Comment: The Velocity-Centric Warehouse

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:33:00 -0500

Today's Warehouse Relies On A Growing Array Of High Technology Solutions To Achieve Optimal Results.

The distribution center is an increasingly important arena for business and competitive strategy. Top flight enterprises know that companies who better manage warehousing operations enjoy a number of crucial advantages. Every dollar saved in the warehouse either goes to the bottom line, improving margins, or can be reinvested in key business initiatives to strengthen the company’s position.

Voxware Completes Transition to Private Company

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:44:00 -0600

Hamilton, NJ – December 7, 2010 – Voxware, a leading supplier of software for voice-driven warehousing operations, today announced that it has completed the process of becoming a private company.

The move follows a decision by Cross Atlantic Partners, one of the company’s major shareholders, to make a further investment in Voxware in support of its strategic plan, in conjunction with a going-private transaction.

“This is a watershed event for us,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. “The burden and cost of public company compliance keeps rising every year.

Building new software products is the best use of company resources that will maximize benefit to our customers, employees, and shareholders.”

“Over the past five years, Voxware has introduced the most significant innovations to the market for voice-directed warehousing. Our Voxware 3 product has transformed the company from a custom developer of proprietary solutions to a software products company with an open and packaged offering. We have led the way to lower overall cost and faster implementations of voice solutions for customers, and we’ve been very pleased by marketplace reaction,” Yetter continued. “As a private company, we can now devote even more resources to accelerated evolution of our product line.”

Survey: Traceability a Priority for Food Service Execs, but Cost-Cutting Still Tops Corporate Agendas

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:41:00 -0600

Hamilton, NJ – November 30, 2010 – While establishing traceability strategies has become a priority for food service executives, cost cutting initiatives remain at the top of the priority list for 2011, according to a survey released today by Voxware, a leading supplier of software for voice-driven warehousing operations. More than three quarters of those polled (76%) said that traceability is a priority for their companies, yet only ten percent said it was their top priority, according to the survey conducted at the International Food Distributors Association’s annual conference. More than half (57%) of the respondents said that cutting costs is their top priority over the next 12 months.

The survey points to the growing emphasis on adopting traceability standards across the food service industry. It also indicates a potential conflict in priorities as organizations grapple with the expense of implementing traceability while simultaneously focusing on cost cutting in the broader operation.

Traceability has become more important to food service companies’ customers, as nearly a third (31%) of those polled said their customers ask either frequently or urgently about plans on compliance. An additional 52 percent of respondents said their customers are asking about traceability occasionally. Another indication of the growing support for traceability is that, despite the clear focus on cost cutting, the overwhelming majority of respondents (72%) said they are either somewhat likely or very likely to adopt some traceability standards in the near future.

“Traceability is becoming an increasingly important issue for food service companies and their customers and this survey confirms decisions we made in regard to traceability support in our software,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. “We see a real opportunity for organizations to proactively implement standards, gain good will from their customers and in some cases gain competitive advantage. Our goal is to provide them with the technology and the expertise to implement solutions as seamlessly and cost-effectively as possible.”

Most respondents (93%) agree that outbound traceability data should be captured at the point of the pick, although there is no consensus on the best technique for capturing the data. Over half (55%) said that utilizing voice, in some cases combined with scanning, is the best technique for outbound data capture. The survey polled food service managers and executives. Voxware designed the survey to provide its food service customers and prospects with insights around the highly discussed traceability issue.

Voice picking solutions have been actively used in the UK for about a decade, from the time that pioneering organisations first implemented it to improve the productivity of selectors in cold store and ambient operations.

New Evaluation Criteria for Voice

Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:51:00 -0500

Voxware exhibited at SCOPE West, a major US trade event held in Las Vegas last month, and one insight from the expo stands out: of 40 attending industry executives surveyed, more than half have plans to add, expand, and/or relocate a distribution centre or warehouse in the next 2-3 years. The simple takeaway is that warehouses and distribution centres are in a constant state of change; and just as business conditions change and warehouses evolve, so too must the technology that supports these operations.

Voice Technology Must Be Operations-Tested, IT-Approved

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 08:41:00 -0500

Industry analysts have observed that the IT group has become increasingly involved in the selection of high tech systems that operate within the warehouse. There are meaningful reasons behind this trend. Over the past 15 years, enterprises have implemented an expanding array of technology-driven solutions that manage everything from equipment to labor to inventory. Forward-thinking companies involve both IT and Operations in the technology selection process. Although this arrangement has the potential for organizational friction, many are finding that greater cost savings and heightened solution effectiveness can be the result.
