LOS ANGELES and MONTREAL — SDI Element Logic, a provider of materials handling systems and technology solutions to the retail, wholesale, fulfillment, and E-commerce industries, and Reitmans (Canada) Limited, a specialty apparel retailer, announce the installation of a streamlined SORTRAK inventory management system at RCL’s Montreal, Québec, distribution centre.
This material handling solution replaces six existing sorters, the first of which was installed by SDI Element Logic in 1996.
“Our 30-year partnership with SDI Element Logic continues to drive innovation at RCL,” Domenic Carbone, Vice President, Distribution & Logistics at RCL, said. “We are excited about the new SORTRAK project and look forward to the next chapter in our ongoing strategic relationship with SDI Element Logic.”
As part of RCL’s initiative to modernize its supply chain infrastructure, the introduction of this new sorter will ensure RCL remains technologically modern in the retail landscape.
“Implementing the SORTRAK will enhance our efficiency through a significant reduction in the number of touches per item, and by making better use of our space,” Carbone added. “As a result, we will improve service levels for our retail operations through improved accuracy, while streamlining inventory and shipping processes.”
Christopher Larkins, President of SDI Element Logic, has closely collaborated with Reitmans since 1994, observing the growth of their mutually beneficial relationship as retail has evolved from solely brick-and-mortar to today’s omni-channel shopping experience.
“SORTRAK’s innovative design permits versatile warehouse configurations, meaning RCL can install longer sorters in its existing space,” Larkins stated. “Reitmans can now configure multiple flows through a single sorter, thereby optimizing the operation of its facility.”
