"RSL recognizes the critical importance of technological advances, and the opportunities they present to ensure our customers receive the bottom line benefits of state-of-the-art technology," Manzione explained "As a result, we are replacing all of our legacy software, and our proprietary warehouse management system is being enhanced to accommodate robotics and packaging on-demand." In addition, RSL is also replacing its Transportation Management Software; the company will also be partnering with Microsoft Dynamics, which will serve as RSL's business intelligence platform; the change to Microsoft Dynamics will allow RSL to use data analytics to build upon and improve business relationships with both domestic and international clients. Manzione said that RSL will be launching the robots in four of the company's facilities this year, and will expand their use to include all RSL locations nationwide in 2019. Earlier this year, RSL announced it was partnering with Invia Robotics, an industry leader in improving fulfillment and streamlining supply chain processes; the initial deployment of Invia's robotics was completed in RSL's Las Vegas warehouse. Invia's robotic technology increases efficiencies in an array of warehouse operations, including picking, receiving and improving fulfillment accuracy. The entire rollout of RSL's technological updates and advancements are expected to be completed in 2019. About Rakuten Super Logistics
