Top Skills
What We Do
Longbow Advantage was founded in 2002. Born of a need for specialized expertise for complex warehouse implementation projects from people who had lived it themselves, our team has always been committed to providing exceptional experiences.
As we helped more and more teams successfully implement and manage their WMS solutions, we began to notice a trend. The warehouse is the heart of the supply chain, yet nobody seemed to be able to get the level visibility into warehouse operations that they truly needed. That’s why, in 2015, The Rebus Platform was born.
Today, Rebus has grown to include Warehouse Visibility, Intelligent Labor, and Inventory Operations. While the solutions have grown, the focus remains the same: providing exceptional experiences for distribution teams through real-time, intelligent visibility into warehouse operations.
Representative customers include Pepsi, Subaru, Del Monte, Spectrum Brands, and Accuristix. For more information visit www.longbowadvantage.com.
