Northern Radiator Dials Up Intelligent Automation with SNS and Infor

Minnesota, US – July 2024 – SNS, a leading provider of supply chain consultancy and software implementation, today announced that heating and cooling product distributor, Northern Radiator, has deployed Infor WMS Cloud. Fully integrated with Infor CSD and FreightPOP TMS for seamless distribution and transportation processes, the multi-tenant (MT) cloud solution will deliver enhanced order fulfilment accuracy and drive greater customer satisfaction.

Having previously relied upon manual warehouse systems, supported by the inventory module of its ERP platform, Northern Radiator underwent a transformation which leveraged the scale and flexibility of cloud, while instilling best-in-class warehousing capabilities. Crucially, Infor WMS Cloud could deliver against all of the leading distributor’s requirements without any configuration, supporting scale and minimizing reliance on internal resources.

“Testament to the professionalism and diligence of the SNS team, is that we were able to fulfill customer orders immediately upon go-live,” comments Lee Kistler, Director of Warehouse Operations, Northern Radiator. “While data migration and a shift to a fully cloud-based, automated system could have presented challenges, SNS ensured seamless integration across all systems. As a result, we are now benefitting from intelligent picking algorithms and optimized order routing, RF task directed processes, from inbound to outbound, and mobile devices support cluster picking, packing, printing, and shipping to support a continuous more productive operation. This not only allows us to optimize fulfillment and supercharge our customer service but also gives us a platform from which to scale and pursue growth well into the future.”
