ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Boardriders, Inc., the leading global action sports and lifestyle company that designs, produces, and distributes branded apparel, footwear, and accessories under the Quiksilver, Billabong, ROXY, DC Shoes, RVCA, Element, and VonZipper brands, today announced the selection of Longbow Advantage, the brand behind The Rebus® Platform and the global leader in warehouse visibility, for its new warehouse visibility and labor management solution.
Rebus is a unified supply chain visibility platform that provides real-time views into the warehouse for distribution teams who need access to make point-in-time decisions about their warehouse operations, labor management, and inventory.
Built to connect to any supply chain execution software, Rebus can aggregate and harmonize all logistical data. This results in real-time visibility to critical data needed for better business decisions.
“We were looking for a solution that could provide us with the critical information and visibility we did not have with our current platform,” said Cory Durrett, Director of Inventory Control, Boardriders, Inc. “Our reality involved making decisions on gut instinct and sporadic reporting throughout our workday. Rebus will provide us with unprecedented access into what is really going on in our warehouse—up to the minute—with real-time knowledge of what we are receiving or sending out of our warehouses.”
With retail purchases rising and the labor market shrinking, warehouses and distribution centers are under a tremendous amount of pressure to continually optimize internal warehouse processes, as well as the workforce that is running the facility.
“While the initial value will come with the increased warehouse visibility, Rebus’ Intelligent Labor Management will then help us to better utilize our workforce, giving us insight into every action scheduled and in process, to attain optimum productivity in our warehouses,” added Durrett.
Rebus Warehouse Visibility is the only solution that provides real-time visibility into the heart of the supply chain—the warehouse. It enables teams to see and react to activities in the warehouse when they happen, across distribution centers and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to make more intelligent decisions.
“We are incredibly pleased for the opportunity to help Boardriders take its warehouse visibility to the next level, fine tune areas of the warehouse, and optimize labor management with unmatched visibility,” said Alex Wakefield, CEO of Longbow Advantage. “The future of warehouses and distribution centers all rely on full visibility into every crevice of a facility. The insight Rebus provides will help increase throughput in the warehouse and maintain high worker productivity while meeting accuracy and stringent customer delivery requirements.”
