Our inventory management system is a combination of various PC based computer systems and networks. The foundation of the system includes an early generation of SAGE™ Accounting Software, Microsoft™ Windows® Applications, FedEx ShipManager and UPS Worldship shipping Systems, FoxPro™ Relational Database Management Tools, and various Internet website protocols. The system has been utilized by WFS for almost twenty years and as new innovation and technology has become available, management at WFS has kept the system updated.

The inventory management system is very reliable and has been proven over and over by satisfied client's such as Ticketmaster Entertainment (including such outstanding artist listed in no certain order such as Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, Dierks Bently, The Eagles, Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Alicia Keys and others) as well as well known Fortune 500 corporations like GTE, Toshiba, Bridgestone/Firestone, The Danbury Mint, and Big Idea Marketing (Veggie Tales™). The inventory management system has also been utilized by various organizations and universities such as Vanderbilt University, The National Association of Religious Broadcasters, and Alive Hospice. WFS has also prepared market research sample pack outs, handled kit packaging, processed consumer returns, and caged consumer response information from business reply questionnaires. And most importantly, WFS has handled all of these functions while managing the client's inventory activity with great precision.

In addition to the many non publisher clients that have utilized the system, over 500 publishers, small and large, have utilized the WFS Inventory Management System during the past twenty years to their complete satisfaction. The system tracks activity by item, provides detailed shipment records by item by customer and has been modified to track returns by item and customer. It even keeps up with individual salesman performance reports and author royalty reports. Shipments can be shipped in bulk for the benefit of the customer then broken out separately by individual publisher for inventory management, invoicing, accounts receivables management, returns processing and overall publisher by publisher accounting controls.

WFS utilizes various vendors for standard packaging but the primary packaging solution utilized by WFS is a state-of- the-art system produced in conjunction with The Shanklin Equipment Corporation and the producers of Jiffy Pak®; the system is a Sealed Air® Priority Pak Packaging. This is cutting edge technology with only a handful of these systems installed across the country. The system basically creates a Jiffy Pak® created on the packaging line that is shaped and formed around the item being shipped as the parcel is being manifested and labeled for shipment. The benefits are better protection during transit, tighter controls on shipment process verification, lighter packaging thus lower shipping costs, and no requirement for packing peanuts or paper stuffing. The parcel arrives in perfect condition and the shipping cost is generally less expensive. WFS shrink wrapping and kit bundling systems are in place that can be utilized for special product finishing requirements, as well.

WFS has been packaging product for ove twenty years. Some projects have involved as many as 200,000 packages (prepared, shrink wrapped and mailed) per week. WFS is ready to handle your packaging needs.

WFS nutilizes high speed shrink wrap machines to provide its clients with top quality shrink wrapping at speeds that enable WFS to be very competitive on shrink wrap packaging. WFS can also handle smaller manual projects if that is needed.
