Four Seasons has been using ProTrack to manage its labor resources and accomplish ambitious objectives: nearly 100% order fill, immediate order turnaround and accommodating highly seasonal work peaks in the summer months. The TZA labor management tool has enabled the company to maximize workforce productivity and utilization, and realize considerable savings.

“In order to meet the demanding needs of climate control customers, we need to have total visibility of where each order stands in the distribution process, and be able to resolve any issues on the fly to ensure we meet very tight deadlines. ProTrack has been very helpful for us to manage our labor efficiently, and I am confident that with the new labor planning and alerting features, our operations will run with the right people in the right places for truly optimized labor performance”, said Mauricio Ortiz-Segura, Four Season’s Distribution Business Unit Manager.

“ProTrack 5.0 enables a whole new level of efficiencies in distribution. Developed by TZA, which has over 25 years of hands-on experience in optimizing warehousing processes, ProTrack allows companies to make proactive and timely decisions to avoid costly bottlenecks and customer service pitfalls. Moreover, ProTrack 5.0 is the first and only labor management tool in distribution that is 100% web-based, which provides visibility through the entire corporate network and considerable lowers the cost of ownership”, said Ray Becker, TZA’s Vice President.
