Overview
The exclusive Stampin' Up! line of decorative rubber stamp sets and accessories for handmade cards, scrapbooking, craft projects, and home décor has been helping crafters discover and express their creativity since 1988. Stampin' Up! products are not sold in stores, but may be purchased at home parties or through a network of independent sales consultants called Stampin' Up! demonstrators. Currently, more than 40,000 demonstrators from all 50 states and Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom teach the art of rubber stamping and share their enthusiasm for rubber stamping, scrapbooking, and card making.
Stampin' Up! operates two state of the art facilities: an 80,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Kanab, Utah, and a 300,000-square-foot home office and distribution center in Riverton, Utah.
Business Challenge
- Managing the flow of product through the Stampin'-Up! distribution headquarters took five separate systems

- ASAP was tasked to complete the implementation with zero impact to the daily operation of the warehouse
