Navarre Distribution Services, the retail logistics arm of Navarre Corporation has unveiled the details of its new Canadian location before key customers and suppliers at its annual Icebreaker conference in Minneapolis, MN. Located in Toronto, Ontario, the new facility will provide Navarre Distribution Services the capacity to more than quadruple its existing business in Canada, while simultaneously improving service levels. Utilizing regional carriers, Navarre Distribution Services will deliver to retail endpoints across the Canadian provinces. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to be ‘on the ground’ with an expanded presence in Canada, and to offer our valued clients the expanded inventory management, logistics and returns capabilities that this new facility offers,” says Joyce Fleck, president of Navarre Distribution Services. “While we’ve delivered successfully in Canada for many years, this is an exciting step forward that highlights our commitment to all our North American partners.” Navarre Distribution Services has a number of core technologies including the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application and complete EDI protocols for order management and financial services; the HighJump Warehouse Advantage software and Vocollect voice-directed picking system for inventory and fulfillment; and the company’s secure online portal for vendor communications and reporting. Navarre Distribution Services also offers a proprietary Vendor Managed Inventory application. The Toronto facility is slated to open on April 1, 2010.
