Air Liquide taps ClearOrbit for warehouses

Air Liquide America's Electronics Div. has gone live with a ClearOrbit (Austin, TX) supply chain software solution.

Air Liquide, a global supplier of gases, chemicals and related services to the medical, semiconductor and other industries, is using ClearOrbit's software to streamline receiving, inventory management and shipping processes in its warehouse facility, as well as to provide product visibility to Air Liquide customers.

"ClearOrbit's work with Air Liquide Electronics is a good example of one of the diverse industries in which we have improved a customer's business processes," said ClearOrbit President and CEO Tom Dziersk.

"Our solution for Air Liquide represents ClearOrbit's commitment to developing fully integrated solutions that extend enterprise value."

ClearOrbit's software applications integrate with Air Liquide's enterprise resource planning system, allowing for greater inventory visibility and reducing inventory loss caused by ineffective warehouse processes.

"Since implementing ClearOrbit's solution, our inventory is visible throughout the enterprise, and we can more easily identify products and prioritize them for shipping.

"This enables us to track the flow of products in and out of our warehouse and reduces the time our warehouse employees spend searching for inventory," said Jack Mechem, Business Information Systems manager at Air Liquide Electronics.

"The increased inventory visibility has simplified our warehouse processes, allowing us to deliver products to our customers sooner."

ClearOrbit's solution enhances accuracy in Air Liquide's inventory processes and empowers users with real-time inventory information. Air Liquide reports increased productivity and satisfaction among its warehouse employees, and the company has seen an immediate return on its investment.

ClearOrbit's diverse client base includes leading companies in industries such as aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer products, high-tech manufacturing, industrial products, telecommunications and cable, and pharmaceuticals and healthcare.
