IDL, Inc. Expands Warehouse and Fulfillment Functions TULSA, OK – June 5, 2009 – IDL, Inc., a leader in rehabilitation technology and therapeutics development for the disabled, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to outsource its warehouse and fulfillment functions in order to increase operating efficiencies and accommodate future growth.
The Company has chosen MicahTek, Inc., which offers turnkey distribution services for retail, wholesale and Web-based client programs. IDL, Inc. will be consolidating its inventory, moving it to MicahTek’s facility located in the Tulsa area. The move will take place this July and is timed to coincide with the move of IDL, Inc.’s corporate headquarters to its new, expanded office space for new product development, marketing and a product showroom for onsite sales. MicahTek will perform all warehousing, assembly, packaging and fulfillment services for the Company. In addition, they will be assembling all of IDL, Inc.’s promotional displays that are shipped to the Company’s retail partners. "Fulfillment is an integral part of our operations and the move to outsource this function to MicahTek will augment our infrastructure by providing scalable warehousing and improved vendor compliance,” said Steven Bussell, Vice-President of Operations with IDL, Inc.. “As we transition from a national manufacturer to a true international company, there is the potential to add another 7,000 to 10,000 retail locations to our distribution network. The expanded capabilities afforded by outsourcing will allow us to handle additional accounts, as well as strengthen our customer service as we move from 48-hour shipping to next-day shipping. Ultimately, outsourcing will free up more space for research and product testing, key elements of our competitive advantage, as well as for the future growth of our sales and marketing departments. This is an important strategic move for us as we continue to build our Company and secure larger accounts.” “Our entire team is extremely excited about IDL, Inc.’s decision to operationally align with MicahTek,” said Keith Conners, Director of Marketing. “IDL, Inc.’s service needs fit in perfectly with our core competencies, including pick, pack and ship order fulfillment from a large mix of items, EDI order processing and routing compliance with large chain retailers, and complex floor display assembly projects. Our experience in business-to-business product fulfillment, along with our strategic commitment as a fulfillment company to remain a leader in this space, gives IDL, Inc. a strong operational resource they can grow with and rely upon as their business evolves and expands.”
