23 Novembre 2009 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
Voxware, Inc. (Nasdaq: VOXW), a leading supplier of software for
voice-driven warehousing operations, announced that Regional Food
Bank of Oklahoma and Harvesters Community Food Network have
implemented its Voxware 3 software product. Both non-profits are
members of Feeding America, the nation’s leading hunger relief
charity.
“We implemented Voxware to gain additional cost benefits,” said
Bill McKnight, Director of Operations for the Regional Food Bank of
Oklahoma. “Unlike a for-profit company with a product to sell, we
are in the business of giving food to people who need it – all of
our operating costs are donated and have to be raised each year –
so we have very slim margins.”
“We’ve seen a 10% increase in productivity and think we can do
even better,” said Norm Bowers, Chief Operating Officer of
Harvesters. “We’re very happy with the system and believe it will
help us to continue our tradition of keeping our costs as low as
possible.”
Both McKnight and Bowers serve on the Operations and Technology
Consortium, a group that identifies and recommends promising
technologies for the Feeding America network. The Voxware 3
solution was deployed at the distribution facilities of both
organizations in Oklahoma City and Kansas City. “We chose Voxware
because we wanted a versatile software product with an open design
and a roadmap for the future,” said McKnight.
“Hunger in the United States is a bigger problem than most
people realize,” said Scott Yetter, Voxware CEO. “These two food
banks serve over 120,000 people every week, and we’re proud that
Voxware’s software is lowering cost so that more funds are
available to give to people in need.”
