Superior customer service levels, anticipated growth and the ability to stay ahead of the retailers requirements were key drivers,” said Richard Gilbert, Owner of The Gilbert Company. “We looked at many WMS products and implementers over several months. We chose Open Sky Group because of their talent – they are attentive, responsive and very knowledgeable. We chose JDA WMS because of its robust and adaptable features. We’re confident we’re in good hands with the combination of Open Sky Group and JDA, and we’re looking forward to successful go-lives on the east and west coasts this year.”
