PRINCETON, NJ - Intermarché, a French retailer, has successfully implemented advanced voice-directed logistics technology using the VoiceLogistics system from Voxware Inc. (OTC: VOXW) at its distribution center in Meung, France. Based on the results of that initiative, Intermarché plans to expand the use of VoiceLogistics to other distribution facilities in France. "The retail business is all about logistics, so improvements to logistics operations have a tremendous impact on a company's competitive strength and overall financial health," said Philippe Lahondes, CEO of Intermarché Logistics. "Intermarché has always been a leader in applying new technologies in a strategic way. We had seen other voice implementations, but felt that they could do much more for the business" Intermarché will not release specific numbers relative to the voice technology initiative. "That's classified," said Lahondes. "But I will say that the results - both from the perspective of the workers and the business benefits - are so positive that we are looking for ways to expand the use of VoiceLogistics at Intermarché." "Intermarché has very advanced ideas and aggressive operational goals," said Philippe Bontemps, Voxware's director of sales for France. "We were able to work with them to implement a VoiceLogistics solution that has produced very good results. Our success is due in large part not only to our technology, but also to the experience of our consulting staff in implementing vocabulary-rich voice applications."
