Wal-Mart Spearheads Another Best Practice in Supply Chain Execution: Wireless Industrial Vehicle Management

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is the world's largest retailer, with nearly 6,500 stores and wholesale clubs across 13 countries. Of equal importance, Wal-Mart wanted to find out how an industrial vehicle management system could make its distribution facilities safer for its associates. Wal-Mart deployed its first wireless Vehicle Management System (VMS) from I.D. Systems in a single facility as a pilot program to measure system benefits. After an extensive evaluation, the VMS was expanded across multiple distribution facilities.
