Congratulations to Ruben Garcia!

SDI Team,

Join me in congratulating Ruben Garcia, for the great comments Dillard’s said about him.

Barron,

I just wanted to let you know that Ruben did a very good job here on the Hang Sorter install and I wished that all installers that we have had in here were the same.

He really strives to do a good job and make the customer happy even though unforeseen situations popped- up from time to time he always made the best of it without trying to take shortcuts and by doing it right. As you can see I would recommend Ruben to anyone and I hope you see the value in him for your company and your customers.
Thanks,

Scotty

Cross Dock Fuels Growth At Dots

Watch a video of the Cross Dock system.

Since the late 1980s, Dots has been distributing merchandise to its stores from a manual, more conventional facility, three miles from its current location. Although this older facility afforded the retailer many functional years, by 2005, much of the equipment was nearing the end of its life, putting limitations on operational growth and efficiency. So in March 2006, Lisa Akey began the process of selecting a consulting firm that could help Dots design a new distribution system.

After three months of extensive interviews, site visits, and reference checks, Dots decided to partner with California-based SDI Industries, a systems integrator and solutions provider that had extensive experience in the fashion retail industry.

In May 2007, after a lengthy study of the present building and available alternative sites, Dots made the decision to build a completely new office and distribution center in Glenwillow. In February 2008, groundbreaking took place and SDI was selected to install and implement the entire distribution system.

In January 2009, SDI completed the installation of the equipment and immediately started hands-on training. “Because the unit sorters were perhaps the biggest change from the old system, we arranged for Dots to send their people to our other client’s sites to literally work on their unit sorters,” says Steve Haskell, SDI’s vice president and lead implementation manager. From January to April, SDI’s software team was also onsite to train Dots personnel and offer systems support.

MEND Christmas Drive

MEND is a local charity that helps struggling families with food and necessities throughout the year. This year, SDI employees contributed hundreds of toys, through MEND, to be given as gifts to children in the neighborhood and their donations were greatly appreciated. You can help too and give to MEND and help this wonderful charitable organization at www.mendpoverty.org.

In the early 1970’s, MEND (Meet Each Need with Dignity) opened its doors in an effort to transform the lives of the neediest residents of the San Fernando Valley – poor children and their struggling families. Starting as a small group of volunteers working from a garage, MEND has grown primarily by word-of-mouth into one of the leanest operating non-profit organizations in existence. More than 91% of the support and donations received by MEND, now the largest poverty agency in the Valley, provides emergency food, clothing, medical, vision and dental care, job skills training and job placement assistance, English as a Second Language classes, youth activities, and a Christmas program. In 2009, we served as many as 31,000 individuals per month. MEND is 3700 volunteers from all walks of life, under the guidance of a small, dedicated staff, providing all the basic human needs vital to day-to-day survival, plus the education, training, opportunities and support essential to transitioning out of poverty.
