Enjoying a successful partnership with Proteus Software for many years, their continuing growth has led to major expansion of the PROTEUS^® Warehouse Management Software. They have decided to invest in a Highly Resilient Server and a Back UP Server with database replication to provide Disaster Recovery, in an effort to secure system availability at all times.  PROTEUS^® modules used by Oakland include Directed RF Warehouse Management, Inventory Control, Sales Order Processing, Load Planning, Pick Planning and Electronic Trading.

The PROTEUS^® Warehouse Management solution provides a fully directed paperless warehouse environment using bar codes and radio frequency terminals. The system optimises warehouse movements and provides enhanced accuracy, speed, and warehouse performance.  Bar code reading facilities can be used for receipt, put-away, picking, despatch, replenishment and stock take.  Oakland International, in common with other Proteus Clients, has seen their productivity rise by over 70% since implementing the PROTEUS^® Solution.

Oakland’s success has been built upon the provision of high levels of service and careful planning to ensure the right items are delivered to the required location at the scheduled time. Having the right solution in place has been a major contributing factor.  David Gray, Chief Executive of Proteus Software said, “We are delighted at the continued success and growth of Oakland International, and are sure that the successful partnership between Oakland and Proteus will be even stronger in the coming years.”
