INFORMATION MANAGEMENT  

Spartan Logistics understands that the only business that matters to you is your business.  That's why there's no such thing as a generic industry solution from Spartan.  Our information technology solutions work with the processes that drive your business.  And since Spartan has been working with businesses for 30 years, we understand the demands of your business.

   
How we use it...
   

Our warehouse management system provides customers with flexible interfaces into our high performance technology enterprise.  Elements such as inventory control, activity and schedule reporting permit optimal control over your goods.  Shipments can be tracked through multiple warehouses.  Our EDI interface permits the transfer of data prior to actual receipt of the goods.  Other uses for EDI include order shipment, adjustments and inventory balance reporting.

What makes our technology unique...
Our ability and willingness to work with our customer's information technology platforms has distanced Spartan from its competition.  We have made and met the commitment to being a partner by integrating the technology systems of our customers into our own business processes.  We believe this is a clear demonstration of Spartans' promise to do whatever it takes to make a partnership work.
