Radio Beacon Inc., a developer of warehouse management software for 3PLs, manufacturers and distributors, today announced that Del-Nat Tire Corporation is using RADIO BEACON WMS in its 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee. RADIO BEACON's integration with Microsoft Great Plains software has enabled Del-Nat to deliver superior customer service by improving inventory control, order fulfillment speed and worker productivity.
