Customer Perspectives
What's It Like to Work with FloStor?
"They're like your neighbor. They kind of come in, that local feeling is there and we may not get that always with a larger company."
"One of the answers that FloStor assisted us with was a pick module, so we sat with them and came through with some new ideas on how we might benefit our systems and improve on our current applications which would also bring back faster service, quicker response and also increase productivity for the team."
"[FloStor] made sure that they understood what our needs were first, there were consistent meetings throughout from start to finish, there was never a point where we didn't feel like we knew what they were going to work on next."
Mark Warcholski
Director of Distribution & Logistics, Meyer Corporation
"Working with FloStor was absolutely a collaborative experience. We had multiple facilities that we were putting systems in, and it was important for the project manager to be extremely aggressive in his communication and really be up front with us to letting us know how the process was going."
