Case Study: Waxie Sanitary Supply (Waxie Supply Company) achieves e‑commerce leadership and 97% stock accuracy with Infor Distribution A+

Waxie gets ahead of the competition to become a leader in e-commerce

Waxie Sanitary Supply, a family‑owned janitorial and sanitation distributor founded in 1954, employs 800 people across 20 West Coast locations with headquarters in San Diego. As e‑commerce brought non‑traditional competitors into its market, Waxie needed to modernize its online and warehouse operations to protect market share and meet customer expectations for real‑time product availability.

Waxie implemented Infor Distribution A+ on IBM Power 550 servers running IBM i, modernizing warehouse processes and RF picking to provide real‑time inventory visibility. The change lifted stock‑location accuracy by about 20 percentage points to 97%, cut inventory labor and barcode scanning time by roughly 50%, reduced returns, improved order fulfillment and customer retention, and provided scalable, highly available infrastructure for future growth.
