Megafrio selected Infor WMS to help meet needs and achieve goals, including sustain business growth, increase service to customers, reduce operative costs and maximize capacity of distribution centers.

Many operations take place at Megafrio's distribution centers, and the company has achieved superior product tracking and process agility with the implementation of the Infor solution. Change management was important, and it was achieved through the quick learning process of the team and the ease of use of the new platform.

The ongoing project is ambitious and includes a great number of customers and distribution centers, but Megafrio has already seen benefits. From the very beginning during trainings, roles were clearly defined of who would be directly involved in managing the solution. This was key for the success of the process.
"Our relationship with Cerca Technology generates lots of trust, as the project team has been with us since the beginning, so they know our business well, and our challenges," adds Makarena Guardia, Megafrio project implementation manager.
