Helping you make good on your promise to deliver the goods
Ah, the world of consumer goods.
Welcome to the tricky dance of managing increased consumer demand, labor shortages, tracking inventory, and other supply chain woes.
The rise and fall of customer demand can make your inventory and labor needs look like a ping pong ball on a windy day. Accurately predicting customer demand is critical for consumer goods companies. False forecasts can lead to shortages or excess inventory, overstaffing or overtime.

Here’s what some of our customers in the Consumer Goods industry have to say about Rebus:
“Rebus offers a lot more than the standard LMS on the market; it drives additional warehouse opportunities beyond measurements against engineered standards. You can compare warehouses and networks against each other, gain deep-dive views into inventory, and see in real-time how your network is performing.”
Erin Mitchell
Head of North American Warehousing, Kraft Heinz
“Rebus solved in 2 weeks what internal teams had been trying to solve for over 2 years.”
Industry-Leading Global Food Manufacturer
“If Rebus were no longer available, I would be looking to Longbow Advantage to offer something even better. Rebus has raised the bar to the point where I would not be looking to the standard labor management systems on the market today, but would be looking for something new that I haven’t seen before.”
Head of North American Warehousing, Global Food Manufacturing Company
“Having Rebus during a WMS go-live is like night and day compared to before we used Rebus. Using Rebus made it very easy to determine warehouse productivity by the hour, shift, in real-time, and immediately identify any productivity dips when we started using the new WMS version. I will never go live with WMS without Rebus again.”
Senior Director of Supply Chain for Global Consumer Packaging Manufacturer

eBOL
Where’s that bill of lading again? Oh, that’s right, it’s safely stored in the cloud. If you’ve ever had to search through a pile of crumbled, torn, smudged paper BOLs, then you we feel your pain. We’ve been there. And if you’ve ever realized that one has been lost…
That’s why we made Rebus eBOL. And we designed it to integrate seamlessly with Smart BOL.
- Integrates Rebus with SmartBOL for seamless access
- IT team doesn’t need to setup BOLs in the WMS
- Allows the warehouse to move from paper-based BOLs to a completely digitized process with little to no human intervention
