Lozier Corporation, a leading manufacturer of retail store fixtures, specializing in shelving, has announced it has chosen DSI®, a leading provider of innovative inventory management solutions, to build a solution for production reporting. DSI will install its Cloud Inventory®, a cloud-based inventory management Software as a Service (Saas) platform, to optimize Lozier’s reporting of warehouse production.
Headquartered in Omaha, Lozier operates eight facilities spanning across Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Alabama and has more than 2,200 employees. While Lozier specializes in shelving and shelf products, the firm also produces and distributes other store fixtures such as metal cabinets and lockers, tubular products, and wire products for a variety of retail store applications. Since its founding over 60 years ago, Lozier has built its business on core values of integrity, candor, open-mindedness, and a strong work ethic.
DSI’s cloud-based and on-premise inventory management applications empower organizations with real-time inventory visibility at all points in the supply chain, from manufacturing materials, to warehouse inventory, to field inventory. Based in Kansas City, its global team has the supply chain knowledge and mobile-first development expertise to deliver solutions that solve today’s business challenges. DSI clients are able to pivot their supply chains to a service model through inventory optimization, compliance to industry rules and regulations, and overall increased productivity.
Currently, Lozier uses a mainframe and a custom-built application called e-schedule for all its production reporting. Lozier sought out a partnership with DSI to update its current production reporting system for several reasons. First, DSI offers a robust platform that is designed to improve productivity by providing real-time inventory visibility across the supply chain. Second, DSI’s flexible low-code development platform facilitates easy integration with existing systems. Third, DSI has a long track record of success in the supply chain space.
In addition, Lozier is installing Oracle’s E-Business Suite (EBS), a software suite that includes supply chain management applications. DSI’s team has extensive experience with EBS, and part of Lozier’s aim in partnering with DSI is to leverage this experience to optimize out of the box performance and integration as EBS is implemented.
