Usually the link between the warehouse system and everything else: carriers, the storefront or order portal, and accounting. Once orders and stock match everywhere, we look at what to replace.
Distribution and operations software for Franklin's I-495 parks
Forge Park, the industrial park and I-495
Does Kief Studio work in Franklin? Yes.
Franklin's master plan says it plainly: I-495 turned the town into a major distribution center for goods and a regional employment center. Most of that work happens in two master-planned parks, Forge Park and Franklin Industrial Park, each at an exit directly off the interstate. Kief Studio builds the warehouse, order and shipping systems those companies run on, connects them to carriers and customers, and hosts them on LTFI. The studio is in Shrewsbury.
Forge Park also has its own commuter rail stop, Forge Park/495, on the Franklin/Foxboro Line, so the park is reachable by train as well as by the interstate. For a company moving freight, the software problem is usually not one big system but many small ones that do not agree: a warehouse tool, a carrier portal, an accounting package and a customer spreadsheet. We make them agree, and then we keep them running.
