Omaha Nebraska Third Party Logistics Provider Total Logistics Solutions Implements Microsoft-Based WMS

Clearwater FL (April 6, 2016) —Third party logistics provider Total Logistics Solutions recently announced that it has selected a new state-of-the-art warehouse management system, Datex FootPrint® WMS to manage its Nebraska operation.
