Through its Supply Chain Solutions Division (SCS), RTI provides a broad-based group of professional services related to supply chain decisions for retailers, wholesalers, third-party logistics providers, as well as goods manufacturers of all types. Our service offerings encompass:

• Consulting Services
  SCS provides consulting services in all areas of supply chain management. Our professionals understand that supply chain projects run the gamut from planning to execution as well as collaborative activities outside the four walls of your enterprise. SCS consultants begin working with your staff to put together acohesive set of requirements providing a clear and concise "needs analysis",through the implementation of effective solutions that may range from change in practice to new systems.

• Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
  Understanding your business needs and supporting information technology infrastructure is the first step in the systems selection process. We gather your requirements, and then identify and evaluate potential systems providers using an industry-proven methodology. SCS consultants base their evaluation on how well the vendor's software, technology, culture, service and support map to your needs. This process allows you to select the vendors and the estimated software costs that are most suitable for your business. The SCS approach provides for a significantly shorter timetable and therefore a quicker return on investment.

• System Implementation and Integration Services
  The implementation of warehouse management solutions is a core competency. Once your specific vendor has been selected and the supply chain needs for your company are established, SCS consultants will manage the implementation of your project. SCS consultants provide the critical coordination between internal resources and outside suppliers necessary to complete a "best of breed" solution. SCS methodologies will ensure that the necessary degree of integration between new and existing legacy systems is implemented, thus certifying a return on your investment.

• Project Management
  SCS consultants have extensive experience in every area of project management. They identify and manage every facet of a project including: vendors, timelines, people and deliverables, to help you obtain a complete, on time and within budget solution that meets your requirements.

• Post Implementation support services
  SCS consultants act as a single point contact for all software support and maintenance, system administration, user training, rollout support and enhancements.

• Scalability
  Be assured that whether your project is focused on a single, stand-alone system or encompasses the entire enterprise, SCS consultants have the talent and depth of experience to meet your needs and requirements. Through our staff and associates, SCS can put together the "right" team to handle the task.

SCS believes that simply adding staff members to a project is not a substitute for demonstrated experience. SCS will never sell you on its capabilities at the partner level and later substitute less experienced talent. SCS consultants are highly knowledgeable industrialists who have hands-on experience and have serviced the distribution industry for numerous years.
