Business Overview:
- Casey’s was founded in 1959 as a single convenience store in Des Moines, Iowa
- Today, Casey’s stores are a custom in small communities and there are over 1,900 open
- All Casey's stores were serviced weekly by a fleet of trucks from a single distribution center until February 2016, when Casey's opened a second distribution center
Business Objectives:
- Casey’s homegrown WMS system could not be easily updated and maintained
- Previous system was not designed to include their second distribution center
- They needed a WMS that was flexible, robust, and could easily integrate into their existing IT systems
- Required a system that would provide corporate wide visibility to all data in real time, and support automation and voice operations
- A guaranteed cost and time frame for completion was a must
