Voice Technology Launched for Affordable, Web Based Warehouse System

Affordable voice technology has just been announced as available for snapfulfil, the web based warehouse management system with zero capital costs.

The announcement comes in the wake of a partnership between voice technology leader Voxware and Synergy Logistics, creators of the snapfulfil warehouse management system (www.snapfulfil.com

). Users of snapfulfil will now be able to add voice capabilities for all their RF based staff for a simple, low monthly user fee.

"What we have done is take voice technology, with all its advantages for productivity and ease of use, and made it available to almost everyone," comments Mark Darley-Usmar, managing director of Synergy Logistics. "With snapfulfil, it is no longer the preserve of just the big companies. We are delivering voice systems to companies with as few as five users in the warehouse or picking and packing area."

snapfulfil is a new type of hosted service which charges a simple, monthly fee for an all in one package (www.snapondemand.com/whatcost.cfm

) and can be up and running in 30 days. This service even includes installation of the advanced system itself, an on-site RF network with hand held terminals

). The package also includes connectivity to the resilient and secure hosted environment

(www.snapondemand.com ).

All the user requires is a PC and the availability of broadband. There is no actual software to install and maintain on site. For administrative and management users everything is accessed through a PC's standard web browser, eliminating the typical IT overhead of PC and server support, regular backups and software updates. The voice headsets connect directly to the RF terminals, which are installed with all the necessary voice software as part of the service.

"Following on from the well received launch of snapfulfil, the same principles have been employed to deliver voice technology," Adds Darley-Usmar. "Without skimping on advanced features, we are able to offer this sought after solution simply and quickly, at an affordable price with no capital outlay."

Developing and implementing advanced software for 35 years, Synergy Logistics has a growing list of users for comprehensive warehouse management and fulfilment solutions. These are advanced real time solutions that benefit from RF communications and deliver proven efficiency and customer service improvements.

"This partnership significantly enhances our capability to implement voice solutions," commented Mark Darley-Usmar, managing director of Synergy Logistics.

With this partnership we have the opportunity to deliver class leading benefits from Voxware voice systems, tightly integrated into one package which delivers fast implementation and future
