WISE LEADER – ROBERT SPEEDIE
Robert Speedie, Manager, Parts Distribution Centre and Logistics, has been with Mitsubishi since 2008. Robert was part of a team researching the available supply chain systems on the market that could seamlessly integrate with their SAP S4 Hana ERP, as well as provide the best solution to enhance the automation and systems used to run the distribution centers and ordering systems, including freight management. This system integration was critical to Mitsubishi, and Robert was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition to WISE and other management tools within the Royal 4 software suite. For this achievement Royal 4 is pleased to induct Robert Speedie into the WISE leaders program.Quote from Robert Speedie:
“The Parts Distribution Centre of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada, Inc. chose Royal 4’s supply chain solution after carefully evaluating other systems in the market. As a tier one auto distributor and parts supplier, our decision was based on many factors; Royal 4’s ability to handle our unique business processes including but not limited to: the way of operating our Distribution Centre, interfacing with all of the Mitsubishi Corporate and Divisional systems including SAP S4 Hana, multiple dealer business systems (French and English), Port Authority system, and managing inventory at offsite locations were all very critical for Mitsubishi. Royal 4 Systems project managers and go live support team were at our facility before during and after we went live. On the very first day after install, dealer orders were transmitted to and received by the system allowing immediate fulfillment of customer’s orders. Inbound receiving, putting away of containers, picking / packing and shipping orders, and processing dealer returns were also achieved without issue. We fulfilled every order, and did not lose any data, all checks and balances worked as they should. I would highly recommend the WISE WMS solution for any company in the automotive parts distribution industry”.
