WMS & Logistics Solutions
Chess provides software and integrated hardware solutions to help companies optimise warehouse performance in the key sectors of wholesale, consumer, 3PL and industrial. These systems will deliver the best practice methodology needed for the highest levels of operational efficiency and customer service. They will create an effective, streamlined operation that reduces supply chain costs, maximises productivity and assists ongoing business growth.
Our approach to implementing our systems is a holistic one. We’ll guide you through the process by helping define your requirements, advising on use and selection of the right technology, and giving practical support and assistance throughout the project. Then following successful project conclusion, our support department, staffed by technical experts, will become your regular point of contact for all system advice and assistance.

Food/Food Service
Key issues of service quality, short lead times and product excellence this sector invests in constant supply chain improvement to meet maximum order fulfilment.

TESTIMONIALS
“One of the best aspects of the service offered by Chess was that it gave in-depth consideration to the needs of everybody at Knowles who was likely to come into contact with the Empirica solution – from the key management team right through to operators using it to input data into the system.”
“The system is almost invisible. It just works quietly and efficiently with no issues. To a warehouse a WMS is a means to an end and not our main focus. Empirica is perfect for us. The team at Chess are great… normal friendly people, a breath of fresh air after dealing with other systems companies in the past.”
“Chess demonstrated an understanding of the logistics world and was able to design a solution that matched our requirements rather than forcing us to do things in a proprietary way. They proposed solutions to issues that other potential suppliers thought might be a problem. The other systems we looked at could not cope with breaking loads to a sub-carton level but Empirica is able to track single items whenever we want.”
” “This highly efficient solution supports our business and manages the complete stock control and picking process so that we fulfil the maximum number of orders every day. It helps us provide the very high levels of information, quality of service and product availability expected by our customers. We are very pleased with the solution delivered by Chess and the support they have given to us during the design and implementation of the system. The result is a solution that supports the current and future business requirement.””
