Candock & Tecsys Inc.

Dock manufacturer Candock is using Omni WMS from Tecsys Inc. The Omni WMS was deployed with Tecsys’ rapid implementation methodology.

As the organization expanded over 25 years, it became clear that the existing manual system was no longer sufficient to meet growing demands.
