After three months of extensive interviews, site visits, and reference checks, Dots
decided to partner with California-based SDI Industries, a systems integrator
and solutions provider that had extensive experience in the fashion retail industry.
In May 2007, after a lengthy study of the present building and available
alternative sites, Dots made the decision to build a completely new office and
distribution center in Glenwillow. In February 2008, groundbreaking took place
and SDI was selected to install and implement the entire distribution system.
In January 2009, SDI completed the installation of the equipment and
immediately started hands-on training. "Because the unit sorters were perhaps
the biggest change from the old system, we arranged for Dots to send their people
to our other client's sites to literally work on their unit sorters," says
Steve Haskell, SDI's vice president and lead implementaion manager. From January
to April, SDI's software team was also onsite to train Dots personnel and offer
systems support.
