Load planning hurdles
Augusta Sportswear is renowned for making sportswear in the widest range of colors, styles, and sizes, encompassing well-known brands such as Holloway, High Five, Russell Athletic, Pacific Headwear, and CCM. The company needed load planning software that worked as closely as possible with their home-grown applications.
They looked for a software solution that would integrate well with their systems, keep up with their processes, and return excellent packaging results. They also needed the software to be able to grow with the business, be flexible and stable enough to deal with the demands of daily shipping, and meet their customers’ needs. Ultimately, the choice came down to Augusta’s requirements to package dynamically within their order processing, and MagicLogic’s BlackBox fit jumped to the top of the list.
How MagicLogic helped
After identifying BlackBox as a possible option, Augusta Sportswear put it to the test. They used the software to load cartons and run packaging simulations. The test proved the product was a close fit to what was required, and they saw that it could be even better when all the available options were factored in. After discussing their requirements with the team at MagicLogic, they were confident they had made the right choice for their business.
MagicLogic worked closely with the team at Augusta Sportswear, ensuring a seamless integration with their existing processes. During this process the MagicLogic team provided custom development work tailored precisely to meet Augusta Sportwear’s requirements.
Results
Since implementing the load planning software, Augusta Sportswear has discovered that MagicLogic’s BlackBox Cartonization software is very reliable and stable. They love how BlackBox can get the job done, no matter the orders received.
Flexibility remains a very important factor as the business continues to grow, and BlackBox is meeting the needs of Augusta Sportswear customers, easily coping with new packaging requirements. Using BlackBox has helped Augusta Sportswear provide more packaging options.
At the moment, Augusta Sportswear has yet to investigate all the features of BlackBox, but as the company continues to grow, it intends to review them to see what will make sense for their packaging requirements, and the MagicLogic team will be very happy to offer support in integrating new features
Augusta Sportswear shared their experience working the team at MagicLogic: “The experience is top notch!
