JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Restoring your 1964 Corvette Stingray brake hose retaining clip and need a reliable source? There is only one place to go: Eckler's. Either online or by calling a customer service representative, Eckler's provides customers world class service which is why they have experienced unprecedented growth over the past five years.

To accommodate the growth, Eckler's commissioned TriFactor Systems to conduct an engineering analysis in order to determine the proper storage, picking and shipping systems needed for their new consolidated distribution center in Titusville, Florida. This analysis provided a well thought out, jointly developed concept, cost estimates for capital planning, and a detailed project schedule for implementation. As a result, Eckler's used this information to calculate the return on investment, which proved satisfactory, and have now contracted with TriFactor to provide and install the material handling equipment.

TriFactor offers one-of-a-kind engineered solutions for manufacturing and distribution facilities. The project will give Eckler's the distribution capacity needed for their current and future demand requirements as they continue to grow. The plan also includes a product slotting analysis for the proper placement of all SKUs within the new storage and picking system at the new warehouse.
