Glazer's Wholesale Drug Co., the second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the United States, said this week that it has implemented Management Dynamics' Supply Chain Visibility and Event Management Solution for use throughout its domestic and international supply chain operations.

According to SDCE, the solution provides Glazer's with real-time order and shipment visibility, synchronizes logistics information across Glazer's supplier and trading partner network, and measures and analyzes the performance of Glazer's vendors and service providers using scorecards and reports.

Since going live in April, Glazer's said the system has already delivered a number of benefits, including better visibility of inbound inventory, a better understanding of supply variability leading to fewer stock-outs, and improved communication and collaboration with global vendors and eventually suppliers.

Glazer's said it selected Management Dynamics' visibility solution from more than 20 other competitive solutions for its functionality, reliability and user-friendliness, as well as its ability to ultimately integrate with Glazer's core purchasing and replenishment system.
