Distribution and Warehouse Solutions


Straight-Line understands your warehousing and distribution needs. Your supply chain distribution and transportation competitors are driven to improve by customer-centric pressures as well as evolving supply chain strategies. The major challenges faced by distribution companies today are:
  • Better inventory and asset management
  • More efficient operations and processes
  • Providing access to real time data
  • Achieving high accuracy levels
  • Complying with government and other mandates
Existing technologies, such as bar coding, mobile computers, wired LAN and WAN, wireless LAN and WAN, can help automate and make all areas of your distribution supply chain more efficient and cost beneficial. In the next two to five years, investments in CRM and ERP are expected to decline, while investments in wireless technology and other “edge” technologies (e.g., RFID, portals) are expected to grow. Here at Straight-Line we are prepared to meet your distribution challenges.

Field Mobile Solutions


Field service provides retailers with another opportunity to please their customers and to make sure that the customers continue to be happy with the products they’ve purchased. Straight-Line Solutions enables efficient field maintenance and repair operations by putting all the information field technicians need directly in their hands, whether it’s the day’s schedule, maintenance histories, or maintenance and repair instructions.
