The objective for investing in a WMS, part from cost-optimization, is to handle company growth, optimize resources and to improve customer service. Included in the project is also optimization of company logistics processes, coordinated by Red Tree. Relef Center, had the choice between the "best of breed" westerns system and proprietary Russian systems, including a strong demand for an experienced and skilled implementation team.

According to Relef company management: "A successful project implementation should allow the company to create a more flexible goods flow. Together with quality improvements, this will seriously upgrade the level of customer service. Implementation of new processes will release significant financial and human resources, which will be reinvested into the new technologies".
